Hey friends! It's time for another easy, family friendly recipe: Taco Cups! Busy schedules, age differences, and picky eaters can sometimes make mealtimes challenging. Here is a quick and easy recipe that is a favorite around our house!
Easy Homemade Taco Cups
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can of crescent rolls or refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (we like the fiesta blend)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F
- Brown the meat in a skillet. Drain excess grease.
- Add taco seasoning according to packet directions. Set aside.
- Prepare the dough. Cut dough from biscuit/crescent roll in half and press into greased muffin tin to form cups.
- Fill the cups with taco meat and put cheese on the top
- Bake 12-15 minutes until dough is golden and cheese is melted
- Cool slightly then add favorite toppings
Make It Your Own
- Add beans instead of meat to make a vegetarian option
- Use chicken taco meat instead
- Add a layer of refried beans for extra protein
- We add a side of Spanish rice and queso & chips to make it a full "meal"
If you're looking for a meal that brings smiles to the table and doesn't take all evening to make, these taco cups are a great place to start.
Happy-- and happy eating together!
