I had some leftover Taco Meat mixture from my taco salad and I used it to make a batch of "bites" you know my little crustless quiches.
They were lunch with little green salad today (they are great with soup too) but these (and the 47 other versions I've made... well not quite 47 but pretty damn close) would be a GREAT appetizer for Super Bowl Sunday. You can crank out a ton in no time flat. Just be sure to call them "bites" versus crustless quiches for the manliness factor ;)
Quick, cheap, weight loss surgery friendly (though no one will know) and super yummy!

All my bites freeze well. Just defrost in the fridge and reheat. I prefer a toaster oven for reheating but a microwave or regular oven will work fine too.
