Mini Taco Bowl Bites

Mini Taco Bowl Bites are the perfect size appetizers to serve at a party or just a great snack. They are cute plus very easy to make.

This week on Sunday Supper, the tastemakers are featuring easy Cinco de Mayo recipes. I am always excited to make any type of Mexican food. But to me, Cinco de Mayo should be a party so I decided to go with these little taco bowl bites.  They are perfect to serve at any party but especially Cinco de Mayo.

What ingredients are used for Mini Taco Bowl Bites? 

For the shells, I used dipper type tortilla chips. They are filled with taco meat and the toppings of your choice. I like to use lean ground beef however ground chicken and turkey can also be used. The ground meat cooks up in no time. Taco sauce is added to give the Mexican flavor. I like to double the recipe and have an extra batch frozen in my freezer. You can use the ground meat for taco salads, enchiladas and burrito fillings too.

These taco bowls really are the perfect bite. They are small enough to fit the whole bowl in your mouth so you get a taste of everything. If you wanted to change things up, you could use ground chicken or go vegetarian with black beans and guacamole.

My family's favorite toppings are shredded cheese, avocados, homemade salsa and sour cream. I like to sprinkle everything with cilantro to make things taste extra fresh.

Thank you to Shelby from Grumpy's Honeybunch for hosting this weeks event! Now take a look at all the other Easy Cinco de Mayo recipes below.  I hope everyone is celebrating with good food and drinks on the fifth of May!
