Ingredients

2 lb ground beef
1 small onion
4 oz green chilies
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (16 oz) fat-free refried beans
2 cups shredded reduced fat colby-monterey jack cheese
19 taco shells

Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and arrange the taco shells in two 9-by-13-inch baking pans.
Cook the beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, until the beef reaches 160 F.
Stir in the chilies, taco seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and tomato sauce, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 3 minutes.
Spread beans into the shells, fill them with beef mixture, and top with cheese.
Bake the tacos for 10 minutes, until the cheese melts.
