To get started, cut the corn tortillas in half. Place a tortilla half into a muffin tin and very gently work it down into bottom of the tin with your fingers. Work the tortilla around the edges so you overlap the cut edges of the tortilla so they are just overlapping and press firmly into place. Repeat this with all 24 tins. Bake them for 15 minutes or until the corn tortillas are slightly crispy and hold their shape.

The filling is a mixture of extra lean ground turkey and lean ground beef along with some zucchini I sneak in the for some extra moisture and nutrients. You can use all turkey or all beef, but I prefer the balance of flavor and nutrition I get from using half and half.

Fill up your cups with the turkey and beef mixture, top with shredded cheddar and throw them back in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Now it’s time to top them with your favorite taco fixings. For me, that is lettuce, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Plate these guys up for the cutest and tastiest little appetizers at the party! They are also a great lunch idea you can pack up and add your favorite toppings at the office for a healthy and flavorful meal.
