Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 24 pieces small taco shells
- 1 small onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 grams shredded lettuce
- 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 120 grams sour cream
- 50 grams fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dice the small onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes (drained), salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
While the beef mixture is cooking, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Arrange the mini taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the taco shells from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before filling.
Fill each taco shell with a spoonful of the beef mixture.
Top the filled tacos with shredded lettuce and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Cut the lime into wedges and serve on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Enjoy the mini tacos while they're warm!
