Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas burrito-sized
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 3 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Toppings:
- 1 cup Ro*Tel diced tomatoes and chilies
- Sour cream
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- Using a 4" round cookie cutter, cut 24 round tortillas. Place each tortilla round over the top of the muffin cup, and press into the cup with a glass. Set aside.
- Brown ground beef in medium skillet. Drain off any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium high heat for 2 more minutes. Set aside.
- Assemble mini tacos by adding 1 teaspoon of the Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans into the bottom of each tortilla, and spread to cover the bottom of the cup. Then, top with a tablespoon of seasoned ground beef. Top each cup with a tablespoon of Mexican blend cheese. Bake the assembled mini tacos at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
- Remove from muffin tin, and transfer to plate or serving tray. Top with a spoonful of Ro*Tel Original Diced Tomatoes with Diced Chilies, and sour cream and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy while warm.
Notes
One serving: 3 taco cups
If you have two, 12-cup muffin or cupcake pans, assemble and bake all of the mini tacos at once. If you have just a single pan, you will need to bake two separate batches.
Try my Homemade Tacos Seasoning. Store-bought taco seasonings often include fillers and excessive preservatives. My taco seasoning recipe is only made with spices. It's wonderfully flavorful and great for all types of tacos!
