Description

These fun and delicious taco cupcakes are a perfect fusion of comfort food and taco night! With seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, and salsa, all baked in a biscuit cup and topped with melted cheddar cheese, these bite-sized treats are sure to impress.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and salsa to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  • Meanwhile, press each biscuit into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin, forming a cup shape.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into each biscuit cup, filling each evenly.
  • Top each taco cupcake with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings by adding sour cream, jalapeños, or guacamole after baking.
  • These are also great for meal prep—just store them in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave.
