Taco Filling

Mini Taco Shells

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 1/4 cup), and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Beans and Corn

    Add the drained black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mix in Cheese and Tomatoes

    Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Assemble Mini Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the mini flour tortillas for a few seconds until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the taco filling into the center. Fold the sides over to form a mini taco.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the mini tacos with sour cream, chopped lettuce, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro according to your taste.
