Southwestern Taco Cups

Mexican is always a success in our house.  Mom and dad can’t get enough of it and the kids also love it.

I get tired of making the same thing over and over again.  It seems like every week we’re having the same old tacos and burritos.  I get bored fast with food and want to switch it up.

I love pretty much love anything bite size so when I saw a couple different takes on taco cups I thought I needed to give it a try and create my own.

I absolutely love this version of them.  Southwestern and Tex-mex are my jam.  What I love best about them is the fact that everyone like them.  That makes it a winner in my book.

If you don’t like beans or corn, just simply omit them.  Sometimes I do half with and half without just to mix it up a bit.

Top these babies with your favorites like guacamole, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, or green onions.  Serve them for dinner or at a party.  The diversity in them is endless.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and make taco Tuesday a little more exciting with this twist on the plain old tacos.
