A Favorite–Tiny Tacos

A few weeks ago, strolling through social media, one of my favorite chefs shared tiny tacos. If you haven’t seen them, you may be surprised at how delicious, quick, easy and addictive these are.

You see…they may be the BEST appetizer or honestly the BEST easy Sunday night meal that might just become your favorite.

And if you are striving to have more protein than carbs? I’m your new best friend. Each and every bite of these gives you protein and prevents the chip bag indulger.

These are such a great and cost effective recipe to create appetizers or for quick dinners or snacks. One pound of cooked meat will yield about 92 teaspoons…giving you about 92 or 7 dozen tiny tacos. See what I mean?

Now if you don’t need that many? Make a couple of dozen at a time for a meal…or more for appetizers.

Just keep the taco meat and refried beans and cheese refrigerated and on hand when you need them. Add the taco meat to the freezer in a bag or container if you need to have it when you are craving these.

How do you make tiny tacos?

All it takes is round tortilla chips, refried beans, seasoned taco meat, and your favorite taco cheese.

Begin with spreading those chips with a thin layer of refried beans.

Then, brown your ground beef, (turkey or chicken), season with taco seasoning, (you can find my version here),

and add 1 t to each tortilla chip.

Then add a sprinkle of cheese, bake.

Parchment paper on a baking pan loaded with these helps with cleanup…and a 400 degree oven for about 7-8 minutes makes the perfect tiny tacos.

While they are warm, fold in half. You can sprinkle with a bit of cilantro on if you choose before folding..but, I found that adding other toppings inside before folding prevents them from staying folded.

That’s it.

A sprinkle of green onions, cilantro, sliced cherry tomatoes and a dip into taco sauce, sour cream or salsa completes them.

Oh. my. goodness.

If you haven’t made these yet? You may become a fan.

We have enjoyed them for New Year’s Eve…football afternoon viewing…and even dinners when quick and easy works.

Here’s the recipe if you need one.

Just sayin’…these may be addictive. We keep cooked taco meat in the freezer now…waiting for the next time we are craving them.

Perfect for an appetizer night, game night, or simply an easy dinner.

Too good not to share!
