Mini Taco Salad Cups

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F

Step 2

Prepare all filling ingredients and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare Lime Crema by combining sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and lime zest.

Step 4

Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.

Step 5

Wrap the stack of tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Don't skip this step as the tortillas need to be softened to be molded into muffin tins.

Step 6

Place each softened tortilla into a muffin tin cavity, pinching the sides together to form a cup.

Step 7

Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes and remove to a rack to cool.

Step 8

Once cooled place the tortilla cups on a platter.

Step 9

To each tortilla cup add a heaping tablespoon of meat. Continue to layer with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, avocado, crema and cilantro leaves. Add a dash of hot sauce to each cup.

Step 10

If desired line the platter with lettuce leaves to keep the tortilla cups level.
