# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Start by heating a big pan on medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and ground beef, and cook until the meat’s browned up.

Once the meat’s cooked, drain the extra grease. Sprinkle in the cayenne, chili powder, and salt. Stir well so it’s all mixed up.

Combine the refried beans and tomato paste with the meat. Keep stirring till everything’s blended smoothly.
04 -
Whisk together cornstarch and a splash of water. Pour it into the pan and cook until the mixture thickens up.
05 -
Drop in the shredded cheese and stir. Once it melts, let the chili cheese sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
06 -
Get the tortillas warmed up by microwaving them for a few seconds or dampening with water and heating on a pan.
07 -
Lay out a tortilla, add cheese in the middle, then top with some meat mix. Fold the sides in and roll it up tight.
08 -
Do the same with all the tortillas. Serve them up with salsa, sour cream, or any favorite toppings.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Top it off with extras like avocado slices or jalapeños for an extra kick.
02 -
Adjust the spice to your liking by changing the amount of chili or cayenne.
