Taco Bites: Cheesy Bean Appetizer
Taco Bites are the ultimate easy appetizer, perfect for your next party, game day gathering, or even a fun taco night with the family. While traditional tacos can be a bit messy, these bite-sized taco cups keep all the deliciousness contained in a crispy tortilla shell. This recipe uses black beans for a hearty vegetarian option, but you can easily swap in taco meat, ground turkey, or refried beans for a different spin.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
- Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ½ cup chopped red onion and ½ teaspoon salt, then sauté for 6-7 minutes. Stir in 1 can of black beans (undrained) and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, mashing some of the beans. Remove from heat.

Using a cookie cutter, cut four large tortillas into 3.5-inch rounds. Microwave for 15-30 seconds to soften, then brush with olive oil.
- Step 4
Press tortilla rounds into the muffin tin to form cups. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the bean mixture into each, then top with 1 cup shredded cheese.
- Step 5
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes, then add toppings of choice. Enjoy!
