Ingredients

• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup prepared guacamole
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Brush both sides of each corn tortilla with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Step 3

Working in batches, cook each tortilla in the hot skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of refried beans evenly over each tortilla.

Step 5

Top the beans with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Step 6

Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

Step 7

Remove the tortillas from the oven and begin layering: add a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of guacamole, and a spoonful of salsa to each tortilla.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped cilantro on top of each stack.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy your Mexican Snack Stacks as a fun appetizer or light meal!
