Instructions
For the Filling
- Roughly chop the spinach into smaller pieces.
- Heat 1 tsp of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the spinach stir for a bit in the oil then drizzle over 1 tbsp of water and cover with a lid for 1 minute to allow the spinach to wilt.
- Remove the lid and boil off any excess water then add 1 of cumin and stir.
- Add in the canned refried beans, ½ of the cheese, and salt and pepper for flavor. Mix until well combined then remove from the heat.
For the Tacos
- Heat a dry skillet over medium to medium high heat. Lay down the tortillas in the skillet and heat until they have softened and are pliable. Flip halfway through.
- Spoon the bean and cheese mixture onto each tortilla and top with a bit more cheese, fold to close.
- Place the finished tacos on a sheet pan to cool and repeat until all the filling has been used.
- If you plan to vacuum seal the tacos, flash freeze the sheet pan of tacos, uncovered in the freezer until solid.
Storage
- Place the frozen tacos into your freezer bag, remove all of the air and return to the freezer for storage.
- To reheat the tacos, place into a 400°F for 3-5 minutes or in the oven if you don't have an air fryer. Microwaving is fine as well.
