Description
Mini taco cups packed with seasoned beef, creamy ranch, cheddar cheese, and fresh toppings—perfect for parties or fun snacks.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 Tbsp homemade blend)
1 Tbsp water
24 mini phyllo cups (store‑bought) or use mini muffin liners
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp ranch seasoning mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp chopped green onions
Optional: sliced olives or jalapeños for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Arrange mini phyllo cups on a baking sheet.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink, breaking up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer 2–3 minutes until well coated. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning to make creamy ranch sauce.
Into each phyllo cup, spoon a little seasoned meat, then a dab of ranch sauce.
Top each with shredded cheddar, diced tomato, and green onions (and olives or jalapeños if using).
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and filling is warm.
Allow to cool slightly, then serve immediately.
