Taco Meat Filling
- 1 lbs. taco meat (prepared using a crunch wraps recipe)
- 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 Taco Meat: Use your preferred crunch wraps recipe to make and cook 1 lb of taco meat thoroughly until well seasoned and cooked through.
- Prep the Toppings: Shred the iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese, then halve the cherry tomatoes. Place the sour cream into a sandwich bag and cut off one corner to create a piping bag.
- Assemble the Taco Bites: Arrange 50 scoop chips on a large serving platter. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of taco meat into each scoop chip.
- Add Sour Cream: Pipe a small amount of sour cream over the meat on each chip using the prepared sandwich bag.
- Finish with Toppings: Top each bite with shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and half a cherry tomato.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute taco meat with seasoned cooked lentils or meatless crumbles.
- Scoop chips can be replaced with mini tortilla cups if preferred.
- The sour cream can be swapped with a vegan alternative for a dairy-free option.
- Prepare the taco meat a day in advance to save time on the day of your event.
- Use fresh and crisp iceberg lettuce for the best texture contrast.
- These bite-sized appetizers are best served fresh to maintain chip crispiness.
