Wow has this summer been busy! I am still doing projects here and there, but I am basically focusing on having a ton of fun while my kids are off of school and potty training a 3 year old, lol. Hope everyone’s summer is just as fun!
I decided to give THIS recipe a try because I had leftover taco meat and was tired of the same ol’ tacos we always eat. Not only that, but sometimes your children get bored too! So I decided to change it up a little to see if I could trick them to eat more! he he he Let me tell you… Happy kids makes a happy mommy. So here it is.
FUN TACO CUPS
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Using a pizza cutter, cut a tortilla shell in half twice, giving you four pieces.
**Fold into each muffin cup until it sits nicely. Some might fight you. I see (after I tried this, of course) that I could have flipped the pan over and used the bottom to get the cups (going in between the cups-negative space for those artist people-to get the diamond shape)… try it and tell me if it works!
Spritz or Spray (whatever your preference) with Olive Oil.
Throw in the oven for about 3 minutes to get a little crisp.
Fill with all the hot toppings you like… (cheese, meat, refried beans, more cheese)
Put back in oven until cheese melts (probably 4 min)
Take it out and add cold toppings (lettuce, tomato, sour cream)! It is that easy!
Serve with Salsa (or if you are like me, ketchup, mmmmm)
I was watching 3 other kids the night I tried this. So a total of 5 kids gobbled them up with great big smiles on their faces! Totally satisfied mommy!
