Baked Jack in the Box style beef tacos

Heat a cast-iron pan with a little oil; add yellow onion, ground beef and cut-up chicken thigh.

Break up the meat and cook until there is no pink left in the beef or chicken.

Season with a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin and chili powder; mix and cook about a minute until fragrant.

Transfer the mixture to a processor and process to a fine, refried-bean-like texture.

Add two spoonfuls of canned pinto beans and process; add a tablespoon or two of the bean juice and process again. Taste.

Warm two corn tortillas in the microwave for one minute.

Heat two pans in a 450 oven.

Put a little filling in each tortilla and fold over; spray one side, flip and spray the other.

Place the tacos on one hot pan, set the second hot pan on top and bake five minutes at 450.

Open the tacos and add two half slices of American cheese and finely shredded lettuce to each; finish with hot sauce if wanted.
