Use your handy muffin tin to make these crispy tortilla cups filled with hearty taco toppings like black beans and sweet potatoes. For a rich, creamy result, use queso quesadilla, the super-melty cheese often used in queso dips, nachos, and quesadillas

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 12 flours tortillas , 4-inch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sweet potato
  • 1 yellow onion , chopped
  • 1 jalapeño , seeded and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 can black beans in mild chili sauce , 15-ounce
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
  • 3 ounces shredded queso quesadilla or Mexican-style cheese blend
  • 1 small avocado , diced
  • fresh cilantro , for garnish
  • lime wedges and lime crema

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 12 (2 ½-inch) muffin cups with cooking spray. Press 1 tortilla into the bottom of each muffin cup, pleating edges as needed to fit.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add onion; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add jalapeño and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Divide bean mixture evenly among prepared muffin cups and sprinkle with cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and filling is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with avocado and garnish with cilantro. Serve with limes and lime crema.
