Taco Cups (Printable Version)
Soft biscuit dough filled with cheesy, taco-flavored beef. A great weeknight meal idea that kids love—and so easy to whip up!
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
02 -
12-ounce can of ready-to-bake biscuits (or two smaller 6-ounce cans)
03 -
1 pound of ground beef (lean)
04 -
1 packet of taco seasoning, about 1 ounce
05 -
¾ cup water
06 -
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 400°F and lightly coat a muffin tray with cooking spray.
02 -
Break up and brown the ground beef in a big pan over medium heat, cooking for roughly 8-10 minutes. Spoon out any extra grease.
03 -
Mix in the taco seasoning and water. Let it cook down for around 5 minutes until most of the liquid's gone.
04 -
Stir the cilantro in and then turn off the heat.
05 -
Tear the biscuits apart and lay each one inside a muffin slot, pressing it up along the edges to form little cups.
06 -
Spoon the seasoned beef into each dough cup. (You might end up with a bit extra.)
07 -
Scatter shredded cheddar over the top of each filled biscuit.
08 -
Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The biscuits should puff and lightly brown, and the cheese will melt nicely.
# Notes:
01 -
Great for school lunches, appetizers for sports parties, or a quick family meal.
02 -
Add extras like sour cream, diced avocado, or fresh-cut tomatoes after baking for more flavor.
