Cut the onion into small pieces by slicing in one direction and then the other.

Fry the corn tortillas in hot oil until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the tortillas from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla while still warm.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans and allow it to melt slightly.

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

Add a dollop of sour cream on each garnache.

Garnish with sliced jalapeños for added heat.

Serve immediately while warm.
