Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray oven-safe bowls or the back of muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable, then press each tortilla into a greased oven-safe bowl or mold over an inverted muffin tin to form a bowl shape.
- Bake the tortillas for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool in the molds before removing.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens.
- To assemble, place crispy tortilla bowls on plates. Fill each with a layer of ground beef, then top with lettuce, tomatoes, beans, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and cilantro if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- Use oven-safe ramekins or metal bowls to shape the tortillas for baking.
- Substitute ground beef with ground chicken or plant-based crumbles for a different take.
- Add avocado, jalapeños, corn, or hot sauce to customize the bowls to your taste.
