Beef and Bean Taco Cups

Beef and bean taco cups are a great twist on the typical taco, they make a perfect appetizer, snack or dinner!

These beef and bean taco cups have flour tortillas refried beans, taco meat, and cheese. Pile your favorite topping on top.  These taco cups are a huge hit in my family, we love making a taco bar and piling on your favorite toppings.

They have so many layers of deliciousness! A great idea is to have a taco bar to offer toppings everyone will love.

Tips for making taco cups.

• Spray the muffins tins with nonstick cooking spray, to prevent and sticking.
• Use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef if desired.
• Use whatever your favorite jarred salsa is.
• You can make tortilla chips out of the extra flour tortillas.

Taco toppings!

• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Sliced olives
• Onions
• Cilantro
• Jalapenos
• Sour cream
• Guacamole

Can I freeze taco cups?

Yes, these freeze beautifully! Place the taco cups on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for flash freeze for a couple hours. Once frozen put them in a large ziplock freezer bag.

To reheat: wrap a paper towel around the taco cup and microwave for about 1 minute.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I have made these the day before and then just pop them in the oven to make.
