Ingredients
  

  • TortillaLand tortillas

Taco cups

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Pkg taco seasoning
  • Desired taco toppings can include: Black beans lettuce, cheese, tomato, green onion, chopped olives, cilantro, sour cream etc.

Crab cups

  • 1 bag pre-shredded imitation crab meat
  • 1 8 oz brick of cream cheese
  • 1 bunch of green onions

BBQ Pork Cups

  • Shredded pork. Either canned or home cooked. I used a pork tenderloin that I cooked in my crockpot. See instructions below.
  • Favorite BBQ Sauce. I used Famous Dave's BBQ sauce.
  • Shredded mild cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Taco Cups

  • Brown and drain your hamburger. Add the desired amount of taco seasoning to your meat

Crab and Cream Cheese Cups

  • Let your cream cheese come to room temperature. In a large bowl, remove the shredded imitation crab meat from the bag and put into your bowl. With a fork, loosen the shredded crab meat so that it's not stuck together.
  • Add your softened cream cheese.
  • Slice up your green onions and add to the crab mixture.

BBQ Pork Cups

  • You can use a can of pork or I used some leftover pork that I had. I cooked a pork tenderloin in my crockpot all day with two cans of chicken broth. If you cook your own pork, shred before adding the barbecue sauce.
  • Add the desired amount of your favorite pre-packaged or homemade BBQ sauce to your pork and mix well.

Assembly

  • With a biscuit cutter or a glass (mine is inches in diameter) cut out your circles from your TortillaLand tortillas. I got about 4 small circles out of one tortilla.
  • Place each little round tortilla into a mini muffin pan.
  • Push them down into the muffin space which helps to make the beautiful ruffles around the edges.
  • Place about a teaspoon of ground hamburger and then sprinkle a few black beans on top for the taco cups.
  • Drop a nice, full rounded teaspoon of crab/cream cheese mixture for the crab cups.
  • Fill to the top of the edge of the tortilla for the BBQ cups.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes

After they have baked:

  • Add any additional toppings that you like to the taco cups. Lettuce, cheese, tomato, green onion, chopped olives, cilantro, sour cream etc.
  • If I have any leftover sliced green onions, sometimes I sprinkle them on top of the crab cups but they will be good to go just as they are when they come out of the oven.
  • Add some grated mild cheddar cheese to the pork cups right when you take them out of the oven and the cheese will melt perfectly..
