Ingredients

• 12 pieces pre-made tart shells
• 250 grams ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
• 100 grams black beans
• 100 grams frozen corn kernels
• 100 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 piece tomato, diced
• 100 grams sour cream
• 1 piece avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the tart shells on a baking tray and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning mix. Stir to coat the beef evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, warm the black beans and corn over low heat. Season with a pinch of salt and stir occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Begin assembling the tarts: Fill each tart shell with a spoonful of the cooked ground beef mixture, a small scoop of the warmed black beans and corn, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Bake the assembled tarts in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tart shells are lightly golden.

Step 7

Remove the tarts from the oven and allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes. Top each tart with a small dollop of sour cream, a few pieces of diced tomato, a couple of diced avocado cubes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tex Mex Tarts!
