Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the refried beans

In a small saucepan, heat refried beans over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until warmed through. Keep warm until ready to assemble.

2
Prepare the meat

Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Add cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Keep warm.

3
Prepare the eggs

In a bowl, beat eggs with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in eggs and cook, stirring gently, until soft scrambled. Remove from heat.

4
Prepare the avocado

Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Scoop out flesh and slice or mash. Squeeze lime juice over avocado. Season with salt.

5
Prepare the cheese

If using block cheese, grate it. Set aside.

6
Warm the tortillas

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Keep warm in a clean kitchen towel.

7
Assemble the baleadas

Spread a layer of warm refried beans on half of each tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs. Add seasoned ground beef. Place avocado slices or spread mashed avocado on top. Sprinkle with cheese.

8
Fold and serve

Fold the tortilla in half over the fillings. Press gently to seal. Return to the skillet for 1 minute per side if you want the cheese to melt further. Serve immediately.
