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 avocado, diced

1/2 cup sour cream

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

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.
