Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can refried beans (vegetarian), steamed and drained
2 cups shredded Mojo Habanero or cheddar cheese
2 cups blanched bean sprouts
6 store-bought white corn tortilla shells
2 medium avocados, chopped and salted
1 cup diced tomatillos
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cloves minced garlic (halal-certified)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish
Mash refried beans with ½ tsp cumin and garlic until smooth
Spread ¾ of bean mixture into dish, top evenly with cheese
Place tortilla shells upside-down on layered mixture
Fill each shell with sprouts, tomatillos, and avocado
Bake 25-30 minutes until golden; let cool 10 minutes before serving
Notes
Pre-bake beans 10 minutes first to concentrate flavor
Use store-bought tortilla shells for consistency
Brush shells with olive oil for extra crispness
Cover with foil if cheese browns too quickly
Add 1-2 tbsp water if beans become dry during baking
