How To Make Lazy Mini Tacos:
- Preparing the Taco Shells: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the mini tortilla cups on the baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tortilla cups with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and ground cumin. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the shells are crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Preparing the Taco Filling: In a skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning mix, black beans, and corn kernels to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the filling is heated through and well seasoned. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Assembling the Lazy Mini Tacos: Spoon the taco filling into each prepared mini tortilla cup, filling them to the brim. Top each mini taco with shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, and any additional toppings of your choice. Serve the Lazy Mini Tacos warm.
