Taco Cupcakes

A delightful combination of cornbread and taco flavors in a bite-sized treat!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning
  • Cornbread mix, prepared according to package instructions for cupcakes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream, for topping
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cornbread Base:
    • Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the cornbread mix package.
    • Prepare the cornbread mix according to the package instructions.
    • Pour the batter into a muffin tin to create cupcake shapes.
    • Bake until theyโ€™re firm but not fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes (adjust based on your cornbread mix instructions).
  2. Add the Beef Filling:
    • While the cornbread cupcakes are baking, cook and season your ground beef with taco seasoning.
    • Once the cupcakes are nearly done, remove them from the oven.
    • Use a spoon to scoop out the center of each cupcake, creating space for the filling.
  3. Spoon in the Savory Goodness:
    • Fill the hollowed-out centers of the cornbread cupcakes with the seasoned, cooked ground beef.
    • Be generous with the filling to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
  4. Top with Cheese and Bake:
    • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef-filled cupcakes.
    • Return them to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once out of the oven, top each taco cupcake with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.
    • For an extra indulgent twist, add a dollop of guacamole on top.
