Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 15 units Mini phyllo shells
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions
• 1 tablespoon Chopped cilantro (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Arrange the mini phyllo shells on a baking sheet. Fill each shell with about 1 teaspoon of the seasoned ground beef mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each filled shell.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the shells are slightly crisped.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the taco tarts cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Top each tart with a small dollop of sour cream, followed by a sprinkle of diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro, if using.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tiny Texas Taco Tarts!
