Crispy Basket Burritos (Baked Tortilla Bowls)
Feast your eyes on this crispy beauty! Perfect for filling up with all your favorite taco ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a muffin tin and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Warm your flour tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds so they’re easier to mold.
- Take one tortilla and gently press it into a muffin cup to form a bowl shape, making sure to fold the edges over the sides to create a nice sturdy shell. Repeat this for all tortillas.
- Spray the outside of the tortillas with more cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.
- Bake the tortilla bowls in the oven for around 10-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!
- While those are baking, cook the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Once browned, drain the excess fat, and add the taco seasoning followed by a splash of water. Stir to combine and simmer for a few minutes.
- Once your tortilla bowls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Now it’s time for the fun part! Start by layering the cooked meat at the bottom of each bowl, then add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and top it all off with fresh lettuce, avocado, and salsa.
- Serve these babies up and watch everyone dig in! Trust me, it’s a show-stopper!
There you go! You’re ready to host your own taco night with these crispy basket burritos. They’re easy to make, fun to eat, and oh so delicious. Enjoy!
