Mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into balls.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each disc until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Spread refried beans on one half of each tortilla.

Sprinkle queso fresco over the beans.

Add slices of avocado on top of the cheese.

Drizzle sour cream and hot sauce over the filling.

Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.

Serve warm with additional hot sauce on the side.
