Easy Taco Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- PAM Cooking Spray
- 12聽corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated
- 1聽lb chicken, cooked and diced
- Taco seasoning
- Black beans, drained
- Lettuce, finely diced
- Sour cream
- ROTEL Diced Tomatoes & Chilies, drained
Directions:聽
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften them. Cut into quarters with a pizza cutter.
Evenly coat聽a mini muffin pan with PAM cooking spray. Fold your corn tortilla triangles into each individual mini muffin tin spot.
Add a little bit of cheese, then layer your diced cooked chicken. This is a perfect use for that leftover cooked chicken! Plan a night or two ahead of time and cook up an extra half pound of chicken to use with your bites! Sprinkle a dash of taco seasoning on top of the chicken, if not already seasoned.
Next, layer black beans and cheese. Bake at 350掳 F for 7-10 minutes, until your cheese is melted and all the ingredients are warm and toasty!
Once your bites are out of the oven, you can garnish with your favorite toppings! We added a pinch of lettuce, a small scoop of sour cream, and the topped our bites with ROTEL Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies. Make sure you drain your diced tomatoes well. Then, it’s like a bite of salsa on top, without being runny!
These yummy bites are perfect for a family meal, a great dinner for college roommate or newlyweds, or perfect for an appetizer for a fun gathering. No matter when you serve them, you’ll have a delicious meal or snack in less than 15 minutes!
