Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lbs. taco meat
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 25 mini cherry tomatoes
- 50 scoop chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat: Use your favorite taco meat recipe or follow the crunch wraps recipe to cook 1 lb. of taco meat thoroughly with your preferred spices.
- Prepare Veggies and Cheese: Shred the iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese. Slice the mini cherry tomatoes in half.
- Prepare Sour Cream Piping Bag: Place the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut off one corner to create a makeshift piping bag for easy topping.
- Assemble Taco Bites: Arrange scoop chips on a large platter. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of taco meat into each chip.
- Add Toppings: Pipe sour cream over the meat on each chip, then add a layer of shredded lettuce.
- Finish Each Bite: Top each taco bite with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and half a cherry tomato.
Notes
- To save time, use pre-cooked taco meat or a store-bought taco seasoning mix.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Use other types of scoop chips like veggie or multigrain for different flavor and texture.
- Assemble just before serving to keep chips crisp and avoid sogginess.
