Tacos. A staple in our house since we all love Mexican. Last night I decided to try something new to liven up our meal. I based it on a recipe we tried a couple of years ago for BBQ Beef Cups which called for biscuits filled with flavored beef. We ended up throwing away that dinner (and the recipe) and ordered a pizza that night! A few days ago, my husband and I were talking about that recipe and it got me thinking about trying it with tacos, remembering I had a recipe for making tortillas. The kids loved getting to help make the tortillas and dinner was delicious!! So here what was for dinner last night:
Taco Cups, Fiesta Rice, and Refried Beans
Tortillas:
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup water
3 Tbsp vegatable oil
Mix it all together into a dough. Pull off pieces and roll into a ball in your hand then press flat. I used a cupcake pan upside down to form the tortilla cups. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 mins or so until firm.
I filled some with and some without refried beans, taco meat then topped them with cheese and sour cream. you could fill them with whatever you want but they are small so keep that in mind. Serve with Fiesta rice (1 cup salsa, 1 cup water, 2 cups rice) and it makes fun and yummy dinner!
We ALL loved them and I hope you will too! Enjoy!
