Need something adorable and delicious for your next party? These Tiny Taco Bites are sure to do the trick!

Ingredients:

  • 8 corn tortillas (75 g): $26
  • 8 oz pork shoulder, roasted (or other leftover meat) (227 g): $1.25
  • 1.5 tbsp taco seasoning, homemade (9 g): $.02
  • 6 tbsp salsa (96 g): $.36
  • 1 lettuce leaf, shredded (9 g): $.02
  • 1 tbsp cheese, finely shredded (7 g): $.09
  • 24 cup mini muffin tin

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Using your mason jar as a guide, cut three mini tortillas from each large tortilla, making a total of 24. I found I was able to stack and cut through 3 large tortillas at once.
  3. Mix together the meat and taco seasoning.
  4. Microwave mini tortillas for 15 seconds. This helps make them pliable.
  5. Place one mini tortilla and 1 tsp of meat in each mini muffin tin. The meat will act as a weight and help keep the shape of the bites.
  6. Work quickly! Once the tortillas cool, they become more difficult to bend.
  7. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until tortillas are golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool for 3 minutes. The tortillas will continue to get crispy as they sit.
  9. Remove from muffin tin and top each with salsa, lettuce, and cheese.
  10. Enjoy!
