Appetizer Recipe: Delicious Mini Taco Cups

If you’re like me, you love tacos. Actually, any type of Mexican cuisine is right up my alley. I modified my go-to taco recipe to become the perfect two-bite appetizer – mini taco cups!

Below are the detailed instructions and our how-to video.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 can (10 oz) tomatoes & green chilis
• 1 bunch green onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 package large soft shell tortillas

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut out 18 mini taco shells using a 3-4 inch diameter round tupperware container (or cookie cutter) as a template.
• Stuff mini taco shells into muffin tins to form a mini taco bowl and bake in oven for 5-7 minutes, until crispy.
• Brown ground beef on the stove, drain when fully cooked.
• Add taco seasoning mix (according to package instructions), simmer 3 minutes.
• Add can of tomatoes and chilis to ground beef mixture, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Spoon taco mix into mini taco bowls.
• Garnish with green onion and shredded cheese.
• Bake in oven until cheese has melted (about 10 minutes).

Makes about 18 taco cups.

Enjoy!
