These taco bites have a festive patriotic color scheme that makes them the perfect, delicious appetizer for the 4th of July.
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 , 1.25 ounce
- 35 rounds blue corn tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese , divided
- 1 cup red salsa
- 0.5 cups sour cream , divided
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
-
2
Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 8 minutes. Drain excess oil from the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning until well mixed. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove beef mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess moisture.

3
Spread tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap (you may need to use two baking sheets.) Top each chip with a small amount of cheese, a spoonful of the beef mixture, some salsa, followed by a little sour cream. Finally, sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of each chip, being careful to keep the cheese on the chip so when it melts it doesn't stick to the baking sheet.

4
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
-
5
Pipe or dollop a small amount of the remaining sour cream on the very top of each taco bite. Serve on a platter.

Top Sirloin Roast
This garlic-infused sirloin roast has replaced my traditional pot roast recipe. It tastes wonderful! Be sure to use a good-quality top sirloin roast for the most tenderness and flavor. I love using the traditional potatoes and carrots but also like to add red pepper and mushrooms for more nutritional value.
Baked Salmon Wontons
It is a wonton filled with cream cheese, jalapeno, onion, salmon, and chili powder. My husband thought it sounded weird, but then ate one and loved them!
Christy's Awesome Hot Ham and Cheese
This ham and cheese sandwich is great on a cool night with a cup of tomato soup. I add spinach, arugula, tomatoes, roasted peppers, chopped olives, artichokes, or a spoonful of salsa to the sandwich, depending on my mood and what's in the fridge.
