Instructions:

Prepare the Hamburger:
- Start by frying the ground hamburger in a skillet over medium heat until it’s fully cooked and browned.
- Once cooked, add the taco seasoning sauce to the skillet, following the instructions on the packet for the perfect seasoning. Stir well to coat the meat evenly.
-
Add the Refried Beans:
- After seasoning the meat, incorporate the refried beans into the skillet. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring that the beans and meat are well combined and heated through.
-
Layer the Chips and Taco Mixture:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, spread the tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet, creating a single layer.
- Spoon the prepared taco mixture over the tortilla chips, distributing it evenly to ensure every chip gets a delicious topping.
-
Top with Cheese:
- Now, it’s time to add the cheese! Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the taco mixture, covering it entirely. For an extra cheesy experience, don’t hold back on the cheese.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Once assembled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the dish at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Keep an eye on it as it bakes, ensuring that the cheese is thoroughly melted and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the cheese is gooey and irresistible, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve your Taco Harris straight from the oven, either as a standalone meal or accompanied by your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
- Gather your family or friends around the table and dig into this flavorful creation. It’s sure to be a hit!
