Mini Taco Bites are a fun and festive party food that will be gobbled up at your next get together, whether it be a holiday party or a day of watching football with friends. Kids will love them just as much as adults.

And when I say mini, they really are mini. Just a one bite treat, or maybe two bites if you’re like me and take little bites.

They take a little time to assemble, but the presentation is so worth it. All the components can be cooked or chopped ahead. This would also be a great recipe to put some little helpers to work in the kitchen. They would have a fantastic time putting these together, and may even be able to put their own creative mark on them.

How To Make Mini Taco Bites

Use a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut flour tortillas into small circles. Brush both sides with a butter/chili powder mixture and shape them into the cups of a mini-muffin pan. Bake until they are lightly browned. Once cool, they will perfectly hold their shape and you can place them in a ziptop bag if you’re not ready to assemble them right away.
Fill each shell with just a tad of refried bean/cheese mixture and a spoonful of taco-seasoned ground beef.

Toppings

Then the fun really begins! Shower them with all kinds of toppings. The more color the better. I’ve used lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado, cilantro, and sour cream. But use whatever suits you. Black olives, more cheese, jalapenos, and salsa would all be grea...
