Being single, I often halve this recipe to yield a meal for one plus a lunch I can take to work. When co-workers remark on how good it looks, I ask them over to try it, then pass along the recipe. It's hot but not overpowering. -Terri Nelson, Warren, Minnesota

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/3 cup water
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 to 2 Anaheim or Poblano chiles, roasted, peeled and finely chopped or 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Optional: Sour cream and salsa

Directions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink; drain. Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes; remove from the heat and set aside.
In a saucepan, saute onion, chiles, jalapeno and garlic in oil until tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir in cream and salt. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread 3 tablespoons sauce in an ungreased 8-in. round or square baking dish. Spread about 2 teaspoons sauce on each tortilla; layer with beans, beef mixture and 2 tablespoons of each kind of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in baking dish. Top with remaining sauce.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; bake 5 minutes longer. Serve with sour cream and salsa if desired.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
