Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn, canned or frozen
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 12 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 whole avocado, diced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, until heated through.
- While the meat mixture cooks, press each tortilla into a muffin tin to form cups. You may need to trim the edges slightly to fit.
- Bake the tortilla cups for 8-10 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
- Remove the tortilla cups from the oven and fill each one with the seasoned meat mixture.
- Top each taco cup with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
