INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably 90/10) or meat of choice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1¼ cup shredded cheese of choice
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup pico de gallo
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cook the meat in a pan over medium heat until all of the meat has browned.
- Stir in the spices until they are fully incorporated into the meat.
- Use a glass to cut out 2 circles from each tortilla. The circles should be about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place the cut out circles in a muffin tin and fill halfway with the meat.
- Top the meat with shredded cheese
- Broil the taco cups on high heat until the cheese begins to bubble. This takes a few minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove the taco cups from the oven, top with sour cream, pico de gallo, and any other ingredients you enjoy!
NOTES
- These can be served as an appetizer, or you can make a large batch and serve them as an entree.
- We like pico de gallo since it gives the taco cups a fresh, vibrant look, but you can use any kind of salsa.
- If you are using beef with a higher fat content than 90/10, you will need to drain the excess fat before adding the spices.
- These cups are best served fresh from the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat your leftover cups in the microwave.
