A little bit of cheese gets cooked to a crisp then carefully scooped up and draped over the side of a baking dish to make a crunchy hard taco shell! Fill that with some yummy ground beef and top it up with some lettuce, tomato, sour cream and a sprinkle of more cheese.

Ingredients to Make Mini Cheese Tacos:

  • cheddar cheese
  • ground beef
  • taco seasoning
  • water
  • lettuce
  • roma tomato
  • sour cream

How to Make Mini Cheese Tacos:

  1. In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef over a medium high heat.
  2. Once browned, add the taco seasoning and water. Lower the heat and allow to simmer until the ground beef is at your desired level of sauciness.
  3. In another frying pan over medium high heat, take a handful of cheese and make a small thin circle. Allow to cook until slightly crispy on the bottom then carefully scoop up and drape over a baking dish until cooled.
  4. Once you’ve made 8 shells, fill with the ground beef and toppings then serve.

  1. Loved these so much but I would love greater instruction as to exactly how you microwaved the cheese? What type of plate? I finally got it to work on parchment paper and my microwave took a good 1:20 or longer. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you👌

    1. Hi Erin, thank you so much for the feedback. We are currently in the process of revisiting older content and updating it to include more detailed step-by-step instructions and well as process photos. I will move this one up on the list!
