Mini Phyllo Tacos

Fun and tasty twist on traditional tacos with seasoned ground beef, cheese, and crispy phyllo shells.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90 percent lean)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 and 1/4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 2 packages (1.9 ounces each) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a small skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat, stirring until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese until melted.
  5. Place phyllo tart shells in an ungreased baking pan.
  6. Fill each phyllo shell with the taco mixture.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 6 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the taco-filled shells and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Notes

Serve with toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for customization. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
