Scale
Taco Meat Filling
- 1 lbs. taco meat (prepared as per Crunch Wraps recipe)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 25 mini cherry tomatoes, halved
- 25 scoop tortilla chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Meat: Use the Crunch Wraps recipe to make the taco meat filling. Cook and season the meat thoroughly to infuse it with taco flavors.
- Prepare the Toppings: Shred the iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese. Slice the mini cherry tomatoes in half to create bite-sized garnishes.
- Prepare the Sour Cream Dispenser: Put the sour cream into a sandwich bag and cut a small hole off one corner to use as a piping bag for easy application.
- Assemble Taco Bites: Lay out scoop tortilla chips on a large platter. Add about ½ teaspoon of the seasoned taco meat into each chip.
- Add Sour Cream and Toppings: Pipe sour cream over the meat in each chip using the prepared sandwich bag. Sprinkle shredded lettuce over the top, then add a little shredded cheddar cheese.
- Finish with Tomatoes: Place one half of a mini cherry tomato on top of each bite to complete the presentation and add a fresh burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use scoop-shaped chips for easy filling and handling.
- If you prefer, substitute iceberg lettuce with shredded romaine or green cabbage for added crunch.
- For extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the taco meat.
- The sour cream can be swapped with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Prepare the taco meat in advance to save time when assembling the bites.
