  • 1 large avocado Sliced or diced.
  • to taste pickled jalapenos

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan for about 15 seconds per side until flexible.
  2. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on half of each tortilla, avoiding overstuffing.
Cooking
  1. Fold each tortilla over and gently press.
  2. Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. When the oil is hot, lay the tacos in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, sprinkling a little salt while they're still hot.

Notes

For best results, keep the bean layer thin and add wet toppings after frying. Maintain medium heat for frying to ensure crispiness.
