Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare your garnishes by dicing the tomatoes and slicing the green onions.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers (about 350°F or 175°C). Carefully fry the tortillas one at a time for 30-60 seconds per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Carefully drain most of the hot oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Add 1/4 cup of water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
While the beef simmers, place the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30-45 seconds until warm and easily spreadable.
To assemble, place 4 of the fried tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a layer of warm refried beans on each, followed by a layer of the seasoned ground beef. Place the remaining 4 tortillas on top.
Spoon the enchilada sauce over the top tortillas, spreading it to the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheese blend evenly over the sauce.
Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven. Top with the diced tomatoes and sliced green onions. Let them rest for a minute before slicing into wedges and serving immediately.
