Awesome recipe! I just gave it a little boost by sauteing some chopped up onion and green pepper and adding it to the beef and also added a packet of taco seasoning. Came out great and everyone loved it! I also substituted wheat tortillas instead of flour to make it a liiitle healthier. ;)

My family loves this! We have made it often. I also serve it with rice. We never have left overs, in fact sometimes there doesn't seem to be enough to feed all in my hungry crew.

This was pretty tasty, I followed a previous reviewers advice & added some taco seasoning to the meat. I'm glad I did because I think without the seasoning it probably would have been a little bland. I also put sour cream on top & served with rice. It was quick & easy to make, would make again.

I made this yesterday for dinner, very easy and I added some taco seasoning to the hamburger when I was cooking it. I served it with sour cream as well and my husband and kids loved it. I will definitely make this again and maybe double the recipe as it only makes enough for one meal.

My husband and I really liked this. It was easy to make and very filling. I added a little taco seasoning and red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.

I made this with 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey, prepared the meat with taco seasoning and did include the refried beans. I served it with shredded lettuce, sour cream, chopped tomatoes and sliced avocado for optional toppings. It was very good and very, very filling. My husband really liked it as did my 5 year old son. Will definitely make again.
