Step 1
Season the 0.5 lb ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape into 2 thin patties. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Step 2
Split the 2 rolls and toast the cut sides in the same skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Spread 0.25 cup refried beans on the bottom halves.
Step 3
Place a cooked patty on each bottom half, top with 1 slice cheese each, and add lettuce, tomato, onion, and a spoonful of salsa.
Step 4
Drizzle 1 tbsp crema over each filling, then close the sandwiches and press gently. Serve warm.
