Units
Scale
- 4 wheat tortillas
- 1 cup ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- For the salsa
- 3/4 cup finely chopped tomato
- 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- a few jalapenos
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ground beef and break it up into small pieces with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, salt, and cook for 1 more minute. Cool and mix with the cheddar cheese.
- Using a 2.5-inch round cutter, form the tortillas into circles.
- Mix the oil with taco seasoning. Brush the circles with the flavored oil. Spoon 2 teaspoons of filling onto each circle and fold in half.
- Place the mini tortilla circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 392°F for 10–12 minutes, until:
- the mini tacos are crispy. Flip them after 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno slices.
- Add to the mini tacos just before serving. Transfer to a plate, spread a layer of sour cream over them, and serve with fresh salsa.
- Do not store or reheat.
Notes
- Too much ground beef can make tacos mushy, while too much lean ground beef can make them dry.
- You can use store-bought taco seasoning or mix your own: sweet paprika, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and a pinch of salt.
- For the shells, you can use wheat or corn tortillas. Cheese , Cheddar or Mexican blend are best, as they melt evenly and create a beautiful golden crust.
- After baking, add a fresh salsa of tomato, cilantro, and white onion.
