MINI TACO BITES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350 F. Make pico de gallo: combine tomato, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
• Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out 4 small taco shells from each tortilla. Save the scraps and toast them for a crispy garnish for salads or soups . Warm the tortillas for 10 to 20 seconds, covered, in a microwave, or wrap in foil and heat in a warm oven until pliable.
• Brush both sides of each tiny tortilla using 2 teaspoons of oil and sprinkle with salt, keeping them covered and warm in between. Press into openings of a mini muffin tin. Repeat with 11 more little tortillas, lightly reheating if needed to keep them pliable.
• Repeat with a second mini muffin tin or repeat after cooking first batch of mini taco shells, for a total of 24.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil followed by ground beef . Cook, breaking up into small pieces, until no longer pink. Use a spoon to scoop out any excess oil.
• Add picante sauce, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until no longer watery. Taste for seasoning.
• Add a heaping spoonful of beef mixture to each tortilla shell, followed by a dollop of crema, a scoop of homemade pico de gallo, and a sprig of cilantro.
