Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional mix)
  • 10 small flour tortillas (or street taco size)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Muffin tin (for shaping the cups)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and water, simmer until thickened.
  2. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Press each tortilla into a muffin cup, folding slightly to fit.
  3. Fill each tortilla cup with seasoned beef. Top with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.
  5. Sprinkle with diced tomatoes and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use street taco-sized tortillas for the perfect bite-sized cups.
  • For extra crispiness, lightly toast the tortillas before shaping.
  • Customize toppings with sour cream, avocado, or jalapeños.
