Taco Bites

This last Sunday I had a little Cinco de Mayo get together at my home.  Most of the recipes used were all my own, but that wasn't my intention.  I really wanted to have a full blown Pinterest experience and take advantage of being able to get so many opinions at once, but it just wasn't coming together.  I searched and searched, but none of the Mexican dishes were really grabbing my attention.  Then I came across these cute little taco bites and thought they would make a great appetizer.... they did!  They're actually bigger than I thought and my daughter just ate them as her meal.

I may have cheated on this one because I didn't follow the authors recipe.  I figured I've made tacos a million times before, so I can do this.  I'm sure there might have been an easier way, but I started out by buying the small flour tortillas and then trimmed them down a little more so they weren't overflowing out of the muffin pan.  After that I simply added the cooked and seasoned hamburger meat, topped with cheese, and placed in the oven.  Once the tortillas were to my liking (medium crunch) I transferred them to my serving tray and then added the rest of my toppings.  It doesn't get easier than that and all of my guests loved how hard I worked on everything.  Oh if they only knew!!! 

The kids loved these so much that I'm thinking in the near future of just having taco bites for dinner.  I have no complaints about this recipe.  It tastes great because you can fill it with whatever you please and its pleasing to look at because it looks like you took the time to add that special ingredient, love.
