Ingredients of Mini Tacos
1 pound ground beef or chicken
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
24 mini taco shells or small tortillas
Optional: jalapeños, avocado slices, cilantro, and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions for making Mini Tacos:
Prepare the Meat Filling:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until fully browned or cooked through. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and the meat is well coated.
Assemble the Tacos:
Arrange the mini taco shells or small tortillas on a large platter. Spoon a small amount of the meat mixture into each shell, filling about halfway.
Add Toppings:
Top each mini taco with a pinch of shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and onions. Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa on top.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish the mini tacos with optional toppings like jalapeños, avocado slices, cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with seasoned black beans or sautéed vegetables.
To make the mini tacos extra crispy, lightly brush the shells with olive oil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes before filling.
