Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Sweet corn (drained)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 1 large Avocado (diced)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 piece Lime (cut into wedges)
- 1 can Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray both sides of the flour tortillas with cooking spray. Press each tortilla into the cups of a standard muffin tin to form a bowl shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Remove and let cool.
While the tortilla cups are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Assemble the taco cups by filling each baked tortilla cup with a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef. Top with black beans, sweet corn, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a small scoop of diced cherry tomatoes and avocado over each taco cup. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve your Starry Night Taco Cups with lime wedges on the side for an added zest. Enjoy!
