Slowly brown ground beef over low heat using wooden spoon to chop and stir meat keeping it very fine and smooth, when beef is browned drain fat, add refried beans and use wooden spoon to smash the whole beans into the mixture. Remove from heat, in another skillet heat 1/4 of oil until hot (test with small piece of tortilla , it should bubble when dropped into the oil.) spread 1 1/2 tbsp of beef mixture on center of each tortilla, fold tortilla over and press so that the beef filling acts as an adhesive and holds sides together, drop each taco into the pan of hot oil and fry on both sides until crispy, when cooked remove the tacos from the oil and place them on a rack or some paper towels until they are a little cooler, pry open each taco slightly add 1/2 slice of American cheese (cut diagonally) and some lettuce. top with about 1 1/2 tsp. of remaining taco sauce.
