Sean's Burrito Cups

Ingredients

  • 2 tbspOlive Oil
  • 1Onion
    finely diced
  • 1 poundGround Turkey
    or 1 1/2 cups chicken, finely diced
  • 1Salt and Pepper
    to taste
  • 3 1/2 tspBurrito Spice Mix
    seasoning packet
  • 1Tomato
    diced
  • 3Flour Tortillas
    large
  • 1/4 cupRefried Beans
  • 1/4 cupCooked Rice of Choice
    grated

Preparation

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the onion and sauté until translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add seasoning mix to the turkey mixture. Add the diced tomatoes and stir until completely combined. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray non-stick cooking spray onto 6-cup muffin tin.
  4. Place the 6 tortillas on top of each other. Cut to create 4 pie slices per tortilla.
  5. . In the prepared muffin tin, place 2 tortilla slices in each cup and push down, so the entire muffin portion of the tin is covered. You may add more additional tortilla scraps to cover exposed tin. Spread some refried beans on the bottom of each tortilla cup, and then add the cooked rice, and then the turkey mixture. Top each cup with cheddar cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, until the tortillas are brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro on the side.
  7. Enjoy!

Points to Consider

  • For serving add sour cream, guacamole, salsa, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Feel free to substitute a different protein.
  • You can use black beans instead of refried.
  • Add ingredients of preference – olives, peppers, MORE CHEESE…
  • You can layer these things however you wish.
  • Heating the tortilla squares in the oven (in the muffin tin) for a few minutes before the filling is added to avoid a soggy shell.
  • Adding a bit of cheese on the bottom layer to avoid the shells from separating when you remove them from the tin.
  • This recipe is from charming Sean Cavanaugh.
