Mini Taco Cups
Once upon a time, I made homemade taco tortilla bowls. And I felt like a kitchen rockstar.
Fast forward to once upon another time and I decide to morph the idea of the homemade taco tortilla bowl into a one-shot mini taco cup (using inspiration from my college days when one of our favorite meals was BBQ cups…a recipe for another time) because in case you didn’t know, everything tastes better in miniature form.
The instant I pulled the mini taco cups out of the oven and served them for dinner, according to my kids, my kitchen rockstar status reached an all-time peak
. I mean, really, can you even stand the cuteness?
There are no complicated flavors here. Simple saucy taco meat and tortillas cut to size.
Slightly bigger than bite-size, these are perfectly proportioned for little eaters. And for adults? Well, they are so small, you don’t have to feel guilty if you pile up a mountain on your plate and go at it.
Sure, they are a bit messy to eat so if licking your fingers is out of the question, be respectable and use a fork.
We took the finger food stance and had a great time doing so.

Tortillas: if you can't get your hands on 10-inch tortillas, feel free to use smaller sized tortillas, just plan on needing more than 4-5 since you'll probably get fewer circles cut out of each tortilla. Refried Beans: if you'd like to make the meal even heartier and stretch the meat mixture, try spooning in a teaspoon or so of refried beans into the bottom of each tortilla cup before adding the meat/sauce mixture.
