Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (12 inch) whole wheat tortillas
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 cup canned kidney beans, drained
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup diced tomatoes
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
1 tablespoon sliced green onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 4 rounds out of each tortilla. Carefully press the rounds into each cup of a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  • Bake the tortilla rounds in the preheated oven until light golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Stir in taco seasoning.
  • Transfer beef to a bowl and stir in beans, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Spoon mixture into tortilla cups and top each cup with 1 teaspoon Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Place muffin pan on a baking sheet and return to the oven; bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and filling is heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Top with sour cream and green onion to serve.
