Taco in Muffin Stone or Mini-Muffin Pan

[cwinter474]

Looking for a recipe for a older customer from a show 4 or 5+ years ago. She says the consultant made it in the Mini-Muffin pan and they were like little taco salads, the cups had meat with cheese and salsa. I'm thinking this is a cute idea to feed alot with bite size taco's.

Anybody have some idea what she is talking about? I think this would be easy enough to figure out, basic taco filling into the cup then top as you'd like, But what to make the "shell" or crust out of????

help?

thanks,
Carol

Mini Taco Puffs
1 lb hamburg browned and drained
then mix in
1-2 cups crushed tortilla chips
1 c. shredded taco(mexican) cheese
1/2-1 cup salsa(Hot, mild--whatever)
1-2 tsp southwest seasoning

then you use the mini muffin pan with crecents(Just like the mini ham puffs)..press down with tart shaper..bake 10 minutes...YUMMMMMMMMY!!!

So the only "shell" is the chips ground up into the meat?

sounds good and easy

I was wondering about that, was thinking about using like the wongtong (not spelt right) wrappers, if they would make like a taco salad shell. Your way sounds better.

Thanks
