• 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.
