Mini Phyllo Tacos

in appetizers, at least one kid ate it, beef, Mexican
These are meant to be an appetizer, but we made a meal out of them. I served mexican rice with them and it was plenty of food. They would be great as an appetizer also!
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 envelope taco seasoning
3/4 cup water
1 1/4 cups shredded mexican cheese blend, divided
2 packages (1.9 oz each) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells
Cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 cup cheese blend.
Place tart shells in an ungreased 15×10 baking pan. Fill with taco mixture.
Bake at 350 for 6 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese blend; bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

YUM! I have some phyllo tarts in my freezer now…these sound like they’d be perfect for our family!

Shockingly, Kenzie wouldn’t even try them and, of course, Andrew didn’t either. But, Kayla really liked them. I think the next time I make the skinny crockpot chicken I’m going to make these again with the leftover chicken!

These were really good, and everyone ate them! I’m making skinny chicken tomorrow night, so maybe I’ll do this with the leftovers!
