TACO SALAD BITES RECIPE
These
bite-size appetizers have all the flavors of your favorite taco salad -- zesty
ground beef, smooth sour cream and, of course, a crunchy tortilla shell. Taco
seasoning varies greatly depending on the brand, so make sure to taste yours
before you add it to the meat and adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly.

INGREDIENTS
·
Nonstick
cooking spray, for spraying the wire rack
·
1
pound ground beef (90/10)
·
2
tablespoons taco seasoning
·
Kosher
salt
·
16
miniature cup-shaped corn tortilla chips
·
4
ounces pepper jack cheese, cut into 16 cubes
·
3
tablespoons sour cream

1
cup thinly sliced romaine lettuce
·
1

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position
an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Set a
wire rack over a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray.
2.
Use
your hands to mix the ground beef, taco seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a
medium bowl until just combined. Drop heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture
onto the rack (about 16 total), then use your hands to roll the portioned meat
into balls. Press a tortilla chip into the top of each meatball, making sure
that the meat goes mostly up the sides of the chip (be careful not to break the
chips). Put 1 cheese cube in the middle of each chip.
3.
Bake,
rotating the baking sheet once halfway, until the meat is just cooked through
and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bites to a large
platter, top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with the lettuce and
tomato. Serve with hot sauce.
