Share:
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 white onion diced, about 1 cup
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup black beans
- 2 cups fresh spinach 2 oz (optional)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 large flour tortillas burrito sized
- cooking spray or more oil to grease muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Create Tortilla Cutouts Stack 3 tortillas evenly on top of one another and use a 4 or 4 1/2 inch circle cutter to cut out 4 circles in the 3 stacked tortillas to get 12 circles. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas.
- Prebake Cups Use a misto or other cooking spray to lightly grease the muffin tin and then gently press cutout circles into the muffin tin filling the bottom of the tin. Prebake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the edges of the cutouts are nicely browned. Use two muffin tins or bake 12 at a time. Keep oven on at 350 degrees.
- Cook Filling Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium. Add onion and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until onions are translucent. Add ground turkey to the pan and saute for 10 minutes, breaking up the turkey as it cooks and stirring often.Add corn, beans, spinach, and taco seasoning and stir and saute for 5 minutes or until turkey is fully cooked through.Add 1/2 of the cheese to the turkey mixture and mix well letting the cheese melt.
- Fill Taco Cups Remove prebaked taco cups from the oven and fill cups with turkey filling. Sprinkle some cheese on top of each cup.
- Bake Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Notes
- This recipe is easily halved to make just 12 taco cups, or 1 muffin tin. Although that's never enough for my family of 4.
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Turkey: Use any of your favorite proteins! Diced chicken, ground beef, or even tofu.
- Taco Seasoning: Our favorite to use is our homemade taco seasoning, but you can of course use your favorite!
- Cheese: Use any of your favorite taco cheeses!
- Beans, corn, and spinach: All optional, of course. You can make these cups with just turkey or meat or make them vegetarian by just using beans and corn.
- Cutting out the tortilla rounds
- Cutting out the tortilla rounds
- If you use the large burrito-sized flour tortillas and get as close to the edge as possible with your cutter, you should be able to cut 4 rounds out of a tortilla. Reuse the extra tortilla pieces by cutting them into strips and giving them a quick fry as a crunchy tortilla topping for our Chicken Enchilada Soup!
