Scale
Taco Meat Filling
- 1 lbs taco meat (prepared using taco meat recipe)
Other Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 25 mini cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50 scoop chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat: Follow your favorite taco meat recipe or use the crunch wraps recipe to cook and season 1 lb of taco meat thoroughly.
- Prepare the Toppings: Shred 2 cups of iceberg lettuce and ½ cup of cheddar cheese. Slice 25 mini cherry tomatoes in half for topping.
- Prepare Sour Cream Piping Bag: Place ½ cup of sour cream into a sandwich bag, cut a small corner to create a piping bag, and set aside for easy application later.
- Assemble Taco Bites: Arrange 50 scoop chips on a large platter. Add about ½ teaspoon of prepared taco meat onto each chip.
- Add Sour Cream: Pipe a small amount of sour cream over the taco meat on each chip using the prepared sandwich bag.
- Add Lettuce: Top each chip with a generous amount of shredded lettuce.
- Finish with Cheese and Tomato: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on each and top with half a mini cherry tomato.
- Serve: Arrange and serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute iceberg lettuce with shredded romaine or cabbage for extra crunch.
- Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- For a spicier bite, add a small dollop of salsa or hot sauce on top.
- These can be prepped ahead by cooking meat and shredding toppings but assemble just before serving to keep chips crisp.
- For a vegetarian version, replace taco meat with seasoned cooked black beans or lentils.
