Instructions
Heat a small pan to medium heat and heat 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add ground turkey or beef and cook about 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart, until it is cooked through.
Add taco seasonings and water and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until the water reduces and theseasoning is nice and thick with the meat.
While the taco meat is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a separate pan and add jalapeno peppers. Cook them about 5 minutes per side, until they are nicely caramelized. Set aside until ready to use.
To a small pot, add refried beans, hot sauce and salt. Heat through on medium-low and stir.
Warm the tortillas, then layer them each first with the seasoned refried beans, then taco meat, then homemade guacamole, then pico de gallo, then queso fresco, then crema, then toasted jalapeno peppers.
Finish them with a bit of hot sauce to taste – an EIGHTH layer? – and wrap them up if you can!
