Taco Muffin Cups

These taco cups are so cute and turn a boring taco into something fun! You could omit the ground beef and still have a simple and delicious vegetarian taco :)
This recipe makes 10 taco cups.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Ingredients:
-1lb ground beef
-1/2 can re-fried beans
-1/2 cup taco sauce
-Pam, or other cooking spray
-3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I use my own taco seasoning, you could make your own or use a packet of Old El Paso taco seasoning)
-1 1/4 cup hot water
-10 small tortillas
- typical taco toppings, cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, whatever you want!

Directions:
Tortillas:
1. Place tortillas in microwave for 50 seconds to make them pliable
2. Grease muffin tin and spray each tortilla with cooking spray
3. Form each tortilla into the cups creating a base and enough room for stuffing
4. Bake in oven for 12 minutes
Filling:
5. Cook ground beef in frying pan, drain grease
6. Place beef back in frying pan and add taco seasoning and hot water, simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone
7. Heat the re-fried beans on low in small sauce-pot or in microwave
8. Prepare shredded cheese as it will be used in the filling
Combining:
9. Once tortillas are done, stuff each with a layer of beans, beef, taco sauce and cheese
10. Place back in oven for 5 minutes to allow cheese to melt
11. Remove each cup from muffin tin and serve immediately

You could have all the taco toppings set out on the table and ready for everyone to top their own. Kids will especially enjoy this! These taco cups would be great to make for a child's birthday party because they require everyone to get involved and to choose their own toppings. They also allow adults to become kids again!
