Prepare flour tortilla dough (not shown in video).

Heat oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

Take a piece of flour tortilla dough and press it out by hand or with a rolling pin.

Place a spoonful of refried beans on one side of the tortilla, leaving room at the edge.

Add a generous amount of ground beef on top of the refried beans.

Add shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.

Fold the tortilla over and press the edges to seal it tightly.

Fry the stuffed tortilla in the hot oil until golden brown, about 20 to 30 seconds on each side, flipping frequently to ensure even cooking.

Drain on a paper towel after frying.
