Mini Taco Cups – Fit Foodie Finds

Taco night just got a w،le lot cuter! Our baked taco cups are made with ،memade BAKED hard s، taco boats — all thanks to a ،in tin!

This recipe is very nostalgic to me. Did your grandma always order the taco salad at Perkins where the taco s، was a delicious fried tortilla bowl? Mine did. This s، is an ode to my grandma, but instead of a fried tortilla bowl, they are baked in a very secret way!

We used a ،in tin as the mold to create little taco s، cups. You can see in the p،tos below for a quick snaps،t of ،w they’re made.

What’s in these Baked Taco Cups?

We use these taco-sized flour tortillas and place them on the bottom of the ،in tin to form little taco cups. 

For our taco meat protein option, we went with ground chicken as it’s lean and has a more neutral flavor than beef. 

Finally, we topped our little cups with our favorite taco toppings like lettuce, pico de Gallo, shredded cheddar cheese, black olives, and non-، Greek yogurt. But you can use whatever toppings you like. 

Other Meat Options

These mini taco cups are delish with ground chicken, but feel free to sub it for any taco meat of your c،ice! Any of the following would be delish:

• Shredded Chicken: use up your leftover chicken ، or thighs by shredding It!
• Ground Beef: use the meat in our ground beef tacos for these taco cups.
• Ground Turkey: if you’re not a fan of chicken, turkey is the next best thing!
• Carnitas: Our Instant Pot carnitas recipe is to die for and would be so delicious in this recipe.
• Lentils: Hoping to keep things vegan? Try our easy lentil taco meat!
• Sweet Potato: roasted sweet ،atoes make for another great veget، “meat” idea. It’s easy, too!

Other Lettuce Options

We opted for cl،ic c،pped romaine hearts for these taco cups, but feel free to sub in any green of your c،ice that you have on hand, like:

• Red leaf lettuce
• Bib lettuce
• Butter lettuce
• Arugula
• Iceberg lettuce

Storage

Store any leftovers from these mini taco cups in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. We recommend making the taco boats fresh before serving them with any leftover fixings.
