Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 pieces mini phyllo tart shells
- 1 cup black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup frozen corn
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 1 medium lime (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the mini phyllo tart shells on a baking sheet.
In a medium pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the black beans, frozen corn, taco seasoning, lime zest, and half the lime juice to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
Fill each mini tart shell with a spoonful of the black bean and corn mixture, dividing it evenly among the 15 shells.
Top each tart with a small pinch of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the filled tarts in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tart shells are lightly golden.
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes before topping each with a small dollop of sour cream.
Garnish the tarts with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro (if using), and a small squeeze of the remaining lime juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Meatless Tiny Taco Tarts!
