Method
In a medium skillet, saute onions in olive oil until translucent. Add ground beef and cook until the beef is finely crumbled and cooked through. Add the refried beans and stir to mix well. Add water, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Lower heat and cook until almost all of the liquid is evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Using a water glass as a stencil (about 3 1/4" in diameter) cut two round circles per tortilla, or less if tortilla is smaller. Using the same cleaned skillet, heat approx two inches of oil on high heat. Oil is hot enough when you sprinkle a couple of drops of water into it and the water sizzles. Fry the tortilla rounds for 2-3 seconds, they only need to be warmed so they are flexible and don’t tear when you fold them in half. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel. Keep the oil heated. Take 1 tsp of the meat mixture and place on one side of the tortilla. Sprinkle some cheese on top and fold the tortilla in half. Return the finished tacos to the skillet and fry on high heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Notes: Stack the tacos on a serving plater and serve with your favorite salsa or guacamole dip. Yes, you can buy these frozen at the market but they are not nearly as tasty as these. You can freeze them and just reheat in the oil before serving. We love to eat these instead of popcorn when watching a movie.

Take a whole jalapeno and cut it in half take out all of the seeds and add a small piece of blocked chedder cheese roll it in crushed up cornflakes (almost powdered cornflakes) and then fry them in oil.

Quesadillas are fairly easy. Take 2 flour tortillas, put shredded cheese in between and grill both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted, you can serve with sour cream, store bought salsa, and other garnishes on the side, chopped onions, cilantro, shredded chicken, etc.
You can grill them dry or with a little oil to make them crispier. You can cut the quesadilla in wedges like a pie before service.

Make sure you have the essentials like good salsa, quesadillas are quick and easy to make and lots of chips.
When I’m on a budget, I sometimes add some mexican pastries to the table. That way people get some sweets, they’re also cheap and filling.

Quick and dirty nachos: Buy a bag of tortilla chips, a block of monterrey jack cheese, and a jar of sliced jalapenos. Cover each chip with cheese and a jalapeno slice, and nuke for 15 seconds. Wanna get fancy? Go Ultimate Nachos. Taco meat, refried beans, salsa, and cheese.

Simplest way is to make a large pot of chile con carne you can get a couple of jars or sachets from the supermarket. Add the chile to a couple of large bowls when cooked and put grated cheese on top of each dish, place under the grill until the cheese has melted then remove. Serve with nachos and sour creme. All your guests can help themselves.

Empanadas
* 1 lb ground beef
* 1 garlic clove
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 (15 ounce) can fresh cut corn, drained
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 8 ounces grated cheddar cheese
* 1 cup salsa
* 2 (16 ounce) cans large refrigerated biscuits (I use buttermilk, and you may only use 1 and 1/2 cans depending on how full you make them)
Directions
1.
1
Brown the ground beef in a frying pan adding the salt and pepper just before done.
2.
2
Let the beef cool.
3.
3
In a large bowl mix the corn, onions, cheese, and salsa, then add the cooled beef mixing carefully so not to break up all the cheese.
4.
4
Roll the biscuits out flat to about 2-1/2 times their size.
5.
5
Place approx 1/3 cup filling on one side of the center of the circle lengthwise.
6.
6
Fold the dough over the filling like a turn over and crimp the edges like a pie crust. Be careful not to tear the dough, and to seal the edges completely or your filling will come out! depending on how much filling is used will determine how many biscuits you will use.
7.
7
Place on slightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 till lightly browned.
Here is a great and easy dessert Also
Sopapilla pie
* 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
* 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
* 1/4 cup honey
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
3. Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough, and use a rolling pin to shape each piece into 9×13 inch rectangles. Press one piece into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture into the baking dish, then cover with the remaining piece of crescent dough. Stir together 3/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Dot the mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
