1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.

3. Step 3

   Add in the ground beef along with the diced onion, cooking them together until the meat is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once that’s done, toss in the minced garlic and let it cook for another 30 seconds until it fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.

5. Step 5

   Next, stir in the diced tomatoes, chopped green chilies, fresh cilantro, and your favorite taco seasoning mix.

6. Step 6

   Once everything is well combined, take the skillet off the heat and set it aside.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, blend the refried black beans with one can of red enchilada sauce until it’s nice and creamy.

8. Step 8

   In another bowl, mix together the shredded pepperjack cheese and Monterey Jack cheese for that perfect cheesy goodness.
