Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans (refritos)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, sliced, or more to taste
1 red bell pepper, sliced
½ onion, chopped
½ pound ground beef
½ pound Mexican chorizo, crumbled
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder, divided
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
3 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
¼ cup salsa
¼ cup guacamole
¼ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 3-inch deep cast iron skillet.
  • Heat refried beans in a small pot until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Stir in pepper, paprika, and salt. Remove from heat.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Combine ground beef and chorizo in the skillet; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Carefully drain excess grease. Stir in chipotle peppers with sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Simmer until flavors combine, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place 1 tortilla in the bottom of the prepared skillet. Layer some of the refried beans, bell pepper mixture, ground beef mixture, 1/3 cup Cheddar cheese, and 1/3 cup Monterey Jack cheese on top. Repeat layers twice more, ending with remaining Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese starts to brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing, 2 to 5 minutes. Garnish with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
