Mini Taco Bowls

It takes very little to make me happy. For instance, when I realized you could easily bake a flour tortilla in an oven-proof bowl and make a tortilla bowl, I squealed for joy like a little girl. I have seen the tortilla bowl bakeware online but I do not own one and wish I would remember to buy one when I'm at Target. Unfortunately, I only had 6-inch flour tortillas but that was not going to stop me.

Ingredients:

• 6-inch flour tortillas
• Cooking spray
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 3/4 c water
• 1.5 oz taco seasoning - Click here for my homemade recipe
• Iceburg lettuce, chopped
• Mexican blend shredded cheese
• Black olives, sliced
  
• Tomatoes, diced
• Sweet corn
• Sour cream

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  
• Spray oven-proof bowls with cooking spray.
  
• Microwave each flour tortilla on high for 15 seconds.
• Carefully place tortilla in middle of bowl, pressing down and around on the inside for a good fit.
  
• Bake for 10 minutes.
  
• Meanwhile, brown beef over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

• Add taco seasoning and water.
  
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.

• Put a thin layer of lettuce on the bottom of the taco bowl, to keep from getting soggy.
  
• Spoon taco beef and other toppings into the taco bowl to taste.
• Enjoy!
