Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet on medium-high, cook the ground beef 6–7 min. Drain and return to skillet. Add ⅔ cup water and the seasoning mix and stir until combined. Cook 3–4 min., until sauce is thickened. Transfer beef mixture to a bowl.

Transfer the refried beans to a microwave-safe bowl. Combine with ¾ cup cheese. Microwave 1–1½ min., until warm. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Place a flour tortilla on a cutting board. Spread on a thin layer of the refried bean mixture (about 2 tbsp). Top with a hard shell. Fold tortilla up around shell. Fill shell with some of the beef and remaining cheese, being careful not to overfill. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Bake gorditas 5 min., until cheese is melted. To serve, top with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and hot sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.
