Instructions

  1. Heat a grill pan or large skillet on medium-high.
  2. Add oil and beef to pan. Break up chunks with tongs as meat cooks. Cook for 9 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked and well seared.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add half of pico de gallo. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, just to soften onions slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Empty beans and approximately half of liquid in can into a blender, blend until smooth and set aside.
  5. Heat another empty, dry skillet on medium-high.
  6. Spray both sides of tortillas lightly with short bursts of spray oil. Working in batches, toast tortillas in skillet until lightly brown on one side.
  7. Flip over and load cooked side with cheese. Cook about 1 minute until cheese begins to soften.
  8. Flip over onto cheese side so that cheese is face down in the skillet. Cook about 1 minute. Remove from pan to serving plate.
  9. Top fried cheese side with beans, beef and remaining pico de gallo.
  10. Chef's Note: You can add additional toppings as desired such as avocado, cilantro and sour cream.
