Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 0.333 cup Water
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Tortilla chips
• 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 4

Lightly grease four ramekins (8 oz. size) and place them on a baking sheet for easy handling.

Step 5

Layer the bottom of each ramekin with a thin layer of refried beans (about 2 tablespoons per ramekin).

Step 6

Add a layer of the cooked taco meat, dividing it evenly among the ramekins.

Step 7

Top the meat layer with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup per ramekin).

Step 8

Bake the ramekins in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Before serving, top each ramekin with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
