Mini Vegetarian Taco Cups are super easy to make and made with only a few ingredients. Prepared in a muffin tin and toppings can be customized. Gluten Free & Vegetarian.
Okay, so anything that can be prepared quickly, is portable, cute and tasty... I'm so in.. And it's no secret that Mexican food is one of my favorites.
These Mini Vegetarian Taco Cups were a last minute plan. While I had the ingredients for a tasty bean burrito I was looking for something a little bit different.
Don't you guys sometimes get tired of the same ole thing? Well not around here. Doesn't happen in the life of a food blogger.
Everything is a potential recipe in the making. So you cook, bake, shoot, eat, repeat!! Sounds like fun, Right?
Seriously though, it is. And the best part is you get to EAT all of the yumminess!
Hope you guys enjoyed your weekend and maybe even spent some time hanging out with friends watching the Super Bowl!
Funny thing about me and football is I really like a good game for the most part..Well unless my team is playing and totally killing it..
I don't know... I guess it can be a little stressful if you're in the last few minutes of a game and really want your team to WIN. Sometimes I just can't bring myself to watch.
But since my team the "Panthers" were not playing this year it was definitely all about the food, food, and more food. OH, and maybe the commercials and half-time show.
And sometimes that's okay with me, to just enjoy the experience. Whether it be watching a good game with friends, cooking, or just relaxing in the sunshine.
Some things are just meant to be fun and easy like these Mini Vegetarian Taco Cups cause:
- They are EASY to make with only a couple ingredients
- Cute little portable treats
- Great leftover and perfect for snacks or lunch
- KID friendly(not the goat kind)
- Customizable so you can add your favorite toppings
- Gluten Free & Vegetarian
Enoy! Β

We don't watch the game -- unless it involves the Colts -- but we certainly celebrate the food. And I do love this type of recipe that you can grab and bite and go. YUM!! I'll have to make my own celebration and make this.
Stef
Yeah the Super Bowl was definitely all about the food for me this year π

I'm not a huge football fan, I really only watch the half time show haha. And the food, of course! Love mini food and these cups look delicious. We're trying to incorporate more vegetables into our diet too so perfect!

Oooooh... I've made something very similar to these before and they were sooo good! I love the the re fried bean option! I used wonton wrappers for the base, but I love the idea of using the wraps. Can't wait to revisit this recipe and give it a go!
Stef
Thanks Byron! The re-fried beans were so good in these π
strawberryblondiekitchen
YUM, we love tacos and I love them even more when they're in cute little bite size cups! My kids will love these and although they are vegetarian, I'd probably add a little meat as my husband loves his meat, but either way, they'd be delicious!
Stef
Yeah, I'm a sucker for portable snacks and dinners! And you could definitely add meat to these for the husband!
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes
I never really watch the football part of the Super Bowl, but I did think the last 20 minutes were pretty entertaining! And Lady Gaga killed it! π These sound delicious- I'll have to remember this for my next party!
Stef
Thanks Sarah! I only watched till half time but it sounds like I should hung in there for the whole game!
Tina Marie (@troberge)
We are a big football family here in Maine and of course - Go Pats! Football may be over, but weekend family board game night is still happening around here and these will be perfect to serve.
Stef
They would be perfect for game night for sure Tina Marie. And congrats to the Pats for pulling it off at the very end π
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary
I didn't care for either team in the Super Bowl this year either, girlfriend. So I was in it for the halftime show and the food! I know Super Bowl is over, but these cups would be wonderful for anytime! I'm always down for something portable and Mexican anything is my favs! These look wonderful! Cheers!
Stef
Thanks Cheyanne and these are definitely great for a quick tasty dinner!
