MEXICAN ESSENTIALS: SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
I made these about a week ago, and posted a photo. Several of you asked that I post it as a recipe, so you could keep it in your files. When I served it, I made a taco bar with chicken, pork, beef, refried beans, some cheese, and served on toasted flour tortillas. They were a big hit. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

- There are a lot of cheeses that you could use for this... even a combination of different varieties. I felt that the queso fresco, really pulled the other ingredients together, and helped to make this recipe a success.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
- Brush both sides of the tortillas with the avocado oil.
- Toast in the oven until browning is spots, and beginning to crisp, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- Chef's Note: Turn the tortillas over after 2 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and spread some refried beans over the top.
- Add a generous amount of chicken, pork, or beef.
- Cover with the cheese... Be generous.
- Pop back into the oven, for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melty, and beginning to brown in spots.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve them while nice and warm. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
