Ingredients

Units Scale

Ground Beef Filling:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Cupcake Base:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)

Toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning and salsa. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Cups: Flatten each biscuit and press into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups to form a crust.
  4. Fill the Cups: Spoon the taco meat mixture evenly into each cup and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Top each taco cupcake with a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, and diced tomatoes before serving.

Notes

  • You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Serve with a side of guacamole or chips for a fun twist.
