Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 15 units Mini phyllo shells
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon Chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
Arrange the mini phyllo shells on a baking sheet. Fill each shell with about 1 teaspoon of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each filled shell.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the shells are slightly crisped.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the taco tarts cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Top each tart with a small dollop of sour cream, followed by a sprinkle of diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tiny Texas Taco Tarts!
