🌮 Cheesy Doritos Taco Cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Servings: 12 taco cups
Ingredients
1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
⅓ cup water
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup finely diced onion
½ cup sour cream
2 green onions, chopped (optional)
Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the meat: Add taco seasoning and ⅓ cup water. Stir and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the beef is flavorful and the liquid has thickened.
- Prepare the Doritos cups: Arrange 5–6 large Doritos chips around the sides of each muffin cup, overlapping them slightly to create a bowl shape.
- Add the filling: Spoon the seasoned ground beef into the center of each Doritos cup, being careful not to break the chips.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each taco cup.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the Doritos are warm and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Add fresh toppings: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2–3 minutes. Top each cup with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.
- Finish with sour cream: Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions
