Taco Bites are everything you love about a taco in one delicious bite. These are a perfect appetizer to serve at your next party or on game day!
I know that it won’t come as a surprise to most of you that I’ve been over here daydreaming about tacos again. My love for them runs very deep. The Super Bowl is coming up and we have friends coming over, so I wanted to find a fun way to serve tacos for the big game. That’s when my Taco Bites idea was born. These little bites are made of tortilla scoop chips, taco meat and all your favorite taco toppings.
WHAT ARE TACO BITES?
These little bite sized snacks are easy to prepare and just as cute to boot. I was enjoying some Tostitos Scoops chips with salsa the other day when my brilliant idea struck. To get these ready grab a bag of these chips and cook up your favorite recipe for taco meat. Once the meat is fully prepared, scoop it into chips and you’re almost finished! Top them with your favorite toppings and they are ready to serve!
How easy is that?!
WHAT TOPPINGS DO I PUT ON THE BITES?
I like to have a whole variety of toppings ready to go. This way if my guests feel like customizing each bite, they can snack to their heart’s content. I like to have a countertop full of various shredded cheeses, diced tomatoes, olives, green onions, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Taco Bites are such a conversation starter and will have your family and friends socializing over these delicious bite sized tacos.
WHAT KIND OF MEAT SHOULD I COOK FOR THE BITES?
I like to use traditional ground beef with taco seasoning and onion. This brings a familiar flavor to the palate that everyone is sure to love. You can also try using seasoned shredded chicken or pork. For all my vegetarian friends out there, I recommend using refried beans or black beans as the base with all of the same toppings for a full and satisfying bite.
