Totally Tasty Taco Cups

Spotted a recipe on the internet which just cried out "make me!"

So I did and these are easy to make and uber tasty. Great cold as a snack too...
 


INGREDIENTS
Servings: 12 taco cups

1 pound lean ground beef (500g)
1 envelope (3 tablespoons) taco seasoning
6 ounces diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 large flour tortillas

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to Gas Mk 5/190ºC/375º F.
2. In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef and drain any remaining fat. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Add taco seasoning, tomatoes and green chillies to the ground beef and stir to combine.
4. Cut flour tortillas into a square shape* and cut each into 4 smaller equally sized square pieces.
5. Generously coat a standard size muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Line each cup of prepared muffin tin with a tortilla sheet.
7. Add 1.5 tablespoons taco mixture. Top with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Press down and add another layer of tortilla sheet, taco mixture, and a final layer of cheese.
8. Lightly brush the top edges of the tortilla with cooking oil.
9. Bake 18-20 minutes until cups are heated through and edges are golden brown.
10. Enjoy!

(*Save the 'offcuts' from the tortillas, spray with cooking spray and place in oven for tortilla chips. Add some spices to jazz them up if desired)
