Ingredients
•
6 (12 inch) whole wheat tortillas
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
•
1 cup canned kidney beans, drained
•
1 cup tomato sauce
•
1 cup diced tomatoes
•
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
•
1/4 cup sour cream, or to taste
•
1 tablespoon sliced green onions, or to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 4 rounds out of each tortilla. Carefully press the rounds into each cup of a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
3
Bake the tortilla rounds in the preheated oven until light golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Stir in taco seasoning.
5
Transfer beef to a bowl and stir in beans, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Spoon mixture into tortilla cups and top each cup with 1 teaspoon Monterey Jack cheese.
6
Place muffin pan on a baking sheet and return to the oven; bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and filling is heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
7
Top with sour cream and green onion to serve.
