Shelly's Mini Chili Cups
3-4 Tortillas
1/2 cup Cooked Chili (leftovers are great for this)
2-3 Tablespoons Shredded Cheese (I used Colby & Jack)
Optional toppings:
Hot Sauce or Salsa
Chopped Avocado or Guacamole
Shelly's Cilantro Lime Yogurt Dip
Spray mini muffin tin with Pam non-stick cooking spray. Using a biscuit or cookie cutter (or 1/3 cup metal measure) to cut circles from tortillas. You'll need 3 or 4 depending on the tortillas you use. I used Mission Carb Balance Whole Wheat, fajita size tortillas and needed 4 but had lots of leftover bits.
Place the cut circles in the muffin tin and bake for 5 minutes at 375. Spoon about a teaspoon of chili in each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese.
Continue baking at 375 for 5 more minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Remove from tin. Top with optional toppings. You can fill them with anything that would go in a taco. I've done shredded cooked chicken, refried beans, taco meat in the past. Excellent party or game day appetizer. For lunch or dinner I'd serve with a green salad. Would even be great for breakfast with an egg.
