Mini Taco Bowls

Have y’all seen these miniature tortillas in the grocery store? They are precious! Of course I had to buy these cute little things, but at only a few inches wide, I had no idea what I was going to do with them…

I decided to try these adorable little taco cups, and they turned out fabulous!

I started out by pushing the tortillas down into cupcake pans to form the little “bowls.”

The mini corn tortillas I used tore a little bit while shaping them, but they still came out fine and held together well. The mini flour tortillas would probably hold up better since they are thicker, but their thickness wouldn’t allow for as much filling.

I then baked them at 375 until they were formed and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes.

I then filled them with pre-cooked fajita chicken and shredded cheese, and popped them back in the oven until the cheese melted.

You could also use taco-seasoned ground beef, fajita steak, or any other filling you’d like – just be sure the meat is already cooked.

I then topped them with sour cream and avocado and they were ready to serve. Aren’t they cute?!? The kids liked them because they could eat them with their hands, and I liked how quick and easy they were to make. (And did I mention they are cute?!?)

You can also use other toppings, like salsa, cilantro, diced tomatoes, black beans, etc.

Thanks y’all!
