Ingredients
Scale
Taco Bites Filling
- 1 lbs. taco meat
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 25 mini cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50 scoop chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Meat: Use your preferred crunch wrap taco meat recipe to prepare 1 pound of seasoned taco meat thoroughly, cooking it until fully browned and flavorful.
- Prepare the Fillings: Shred the iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese. Slice each cherry tomato in half for topping later.
- Prepare Sour Cream Piping Bag: Place the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut a small corner off to create a simple piping bag for easy application onto each scoop chip.
- Assemble the Taco Bites: Arrange the scoop chips on a large serving platter. Spoon approximately ½ teaspoon of taco meat onto each chip.
- Add Sour Cream and Lettuce: Pipe a small amount of sour cream over the meat on each chip, then add a small pile of shredded lettuce atop the sour cream.
- Finish with Cheese and Tomato: Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on each bite and top with half a cherry tomato to complete the presentation.
Notes
- Use sturdy scoop chips to prevent breaking when assembled.
- The sour cream piping bag method helps control portion and presentation for a neat look.
- You can prepare the taco meat a day ahead to save time on party day.
- For a fresher taste, use iceberg lettuce right before serving to keep it crisp.
- Substitute cheddar with your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend for variety.
