Warm flour tortillas on a skillet until pliable, about 30 seconds each side.

Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla.

Add a generous amount of chicharrón on top of the beans.

Sprinkle cheese over the chicharrón.

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped onions.

Add slices of avocado and jalapeños to taste.

Drizzle sour cream over the filling.

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
