Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
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.
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.
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.
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.
Prepare the cheese
If using block cheese, grate it. Set aside.
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.
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.
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.
