Tiny Tacos

Last night, I wanted to use some of that ground beef that we got - from that stellar purchase, mind you - and found this fun recipe!

You take 4 10" tortillas (flour) and cut them into 4" circles. Cook your ground beef, adding onion. Drain. Remove from heat. Then, add 8 oz tomato sauce; I also added freshly diced tomatoes (from the Bountiful Basket), Taco Seasoning (I add this sparingly...), and next time I'll add green onions - I think that would be scrumptious.  (It also recommends hot sauce, but I'm just a tiny bit of a wimp on that one.)

Then, grease a cupcake pan (I can't remember what they're really called?), I used crisco; and press the 4" tortilla cut outs into the pan, so they fold a little on the sides. Place 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into each tortilla, add a dallop of sour cream, and then top with cheese:
Then, bake at 350' for 25-30 mins, until edges just start to turn golden brown. Wha-la!
I think I'm going to add this to the list of fun things to make/eat with my kids. Did you know I have one of those? I even plan little science lessons to teach them. :)
If you make these, and get creative and add something new, let me know! I'm always looking to be a more creative cook!

Enjoy!

Cute idea! I love that you keep a list of kid-friendly meals. I'm going to start doing that!
