Why I Love This Recipe

These are great for family events. They are bite sized tacos that anyone can enjoy. They are just a little something to have before the dinner so they are great as a appetizer/ snack. I have had them before and they are great.


Ingredients You'll Need

1 pound (16 ounces) ground beef (See Tip 2)
3 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning (See Tip 3)
1 10 ounce can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, Undrained
½ cup water
1 cup (4 ounces) cubed Velveeta cheese
2 Tablespoons cornmeal for thickening (optional)
Mini Taco Bites
24 Tostitos Scoops
½ cup Taco meat (from the above recipe or your favorite)
½ cup (2 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese (See Tip 4)
2 Tablespoons (1 ounce) sour cream
1 Tablespoon shredded lettuce
1 Tablespoon diced tomatoes


Directions

Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the cooked ground beef in a colander to remove excess grease. If desired, rinse with hot water to remove as much grease as possible. (See Tip 5)


Return the ground beef to the skillet over medium heat. Add taco seasoning, undrained Rotel tomatoes, and water; stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat until most of the water has evaporated, around 20 minutes.


Add the cubed Velveeta cheese; cover and heat until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Add cornmeal to thicken the taco meat to the desired consistency if desired. (See Tip 6)
