Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces mini tortilla rounds
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 12 pieces jalapeño slices (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully coated and the seasoning is absorbed.
Place the mini tortilla rounds into the cups of a muffin tin, pressing them down gently to form a small shell shape.
Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly into each tortilla cup.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each filled tortilla cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla cups are crispy.
Remove the taco bites from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top each taco bite with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a jalapeño slice if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your easy and delicious Taco Bites!
