I used many of the other reviewers suggestions and just cut my tortillas into quarters - added a little pam to the bottom of the muffin cups and then added my filling (used drained black beans and a can of petite diced tomatoes with chili, then added some green onion). Put some cheese on top and stuck them in the over at 350 for 15-20 minutes. The extra edges of the tortillas made them easy to take out and made a good presentation. I just served them with a cilantro dip - everyone loved them. I think I will try making these next time with 6 in. tortillas cut in fourths and placed in my mini muffin pan to feed a larger crowd. A great recipe to use up whatever you have left in the kitchen!

quick, easy and tasty if eaten while hot - do nt serve cold!

These were just so adorable! They taste yummy, are soo easy to make, and don't take much time at all. I took the advice of other reviewers and simply cut the tortilla in fourths, they still looked just as appealing as the round tortilla bases because they all really look the same from being scrunched into a round cupcake holder, and it was a lot faster and less wasteful that way. They were a hit at a friends party I went to. I wasn't sure what to call them, so I kept telling everyone that they were spanish cupcakes. My boyfriend ate several of these which I took as a sure sign of approval. I served them with sourcream, but I'm sure salsa would also be good.

The only change I made was to use multigrain tortillas instead of flour. I don't know if this was not a good choice, but I did not enjoy these. Maybe I will try again sometime with flour tortillas and see if I liked them better.

These were SO easy to make and delicious! I made them for a Mom's Group potluck lunch. The ladies all LOVED them. They thought I was a fabulous cook and said they looked so fancy! lol Thanks to some other reviews I also cut the tortillas into triangles.(hence the 'fancy' comments) I used leftover taco fixings: seasoned beef, red onions, red pepper, jalapino peppers, salsa, cheddar and mozza cheese on multi grain shells! I will be making these a lot!

This was a very pretty presentation. I changed it according to what I had on hand and what I like. I used 1 cup of frozen corn, 1 can drained black beans, 1 drained can of rotel ( in place of tomatoes), green onion, cheeses, garlic, salsa. It was really good. I will definitely make this again.

Very versitle recipe that can be changed to suit your own tastes. I cut taco shells into quarters and sprayed them with PAM. Pressed them into a mini muffin tin and topped with chopped chicken, cheese, pico de gaillo, etc. Delicious!

These were so good, and the funny thing is everyone thought they were potato skins. Excellent appetizer and so great because you you fill them with whatever suits your preference. I definitely think you need to make a lot of them for a party, because they go fast!

WOW! I gave this recipe 5 stars for both flavor and versatility. I just made these for lunch today (trying to use up some leftover steak, red peppers, beans...) for myself and my 3 year old, and she said 'MmmMmmMmm' the whole time we were eating them (so did I, actually ;-). These would be perfect to make WITH your little one, and she will be happily helping me next time. I have metal measuring cups - used the 1c,turned upside down, pressed really hard on the warmed tortillas, and popped out the circles (I used 2 tortillas for the two of us). Next time, I will simply prep the ingredients ahead of time to make it easier and let her help me stuff them. After they were cooked, I let them sit for about 5 mins to cool, covered with sour cream, salsa - YUM! I did not precook the cups before filling them (some others suggested to do so), and they were not soggy at all. Really, really perfect for the little hands to pick up and eat. These would be great appetizers, and my family is sure to see them at get-togethers, but I will make them more often as a little meal for my daughter! I can't say 'Yum' enough - thanks for the great post and great idea!

These were great. Followed the tip about mixing everything together and then spooning into the cups. It was a snap. Also added some fresh sliced jalapeno to the tops for the adults

These were delicious. It is nice because you can be creative with the toppings to suit all of your guests!

This is not only easy to make, but delicious and a beautiful tray of appetizers.

I made this for a neighborhood get together and they were gone in minutes. Easy to make.

OMG- found this recipe yesterday and made it last night for a party today. thanks to everyone for all the tips! Combined tips that helped: use a cup or cookie cutter to cut out mini muffin size circles, warm circles in microwave to make them more pliable, mix all ingrediants into a bowl and spoon into cups. I did find that I only had to spray the tin once and they fell out fine from then on. Also, they reheated fine in the oven this morning. I put these out at 8am, it is now 9am and there are 3 left! Not one person has said they don't like them! They are ridiculously good and oh-so-easy to make. Kudos to they're creator! Any weightwatchers members out there- the ingrediants that I used were 2 for 1pt, 4 for 2pts, and 6 for 3pts. And they are SO worth the 3 points! LOL

These were great. A little messy to make but use the beans to weight down the tortillas! With a side of sour cream these were a huge hit as an addition to taco night.

I made this once for a party, and my friends ask me to bring it every single time we have a get together now! I added taco seasoned beef to half, and chicken to the rest. I put out containers of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream to top. It's to die for!

These are AWESOME and extraordinarily versatile. Here's and assortment of tips. TORTILLAS: Sprayed muffin tins with pam. Like another reviewer, I didn't bother taking the time to cut out circles and instead cut the tortillas into 4 triangles to avoid having scrap leftovers. This works perfectly because you can pull them out easily by the hangover corners when they're done, which are left golden and crispy, and it adds texture. If you have trouble getting them to sit right in the tin without popping out, hold them over steaming water for a minute or two allows them to get stretchy and they'll sit fine. (They dry back out in the oven anyway). With one of the batches, I baked the tortillas for 5 minutes, added filling, and then baked again, but I only it found it wasted more time to bake-fill-bake rather than fill-and-bake. There wasn't much difference, both ways were delicious! As for the FILLING: do anything! I've made vegetarian types with refried or whole black beans. I've also used ground taco-flavored beef, using a heaping teaspoon per serving. Topped it with salsa or simply veggies. Olives, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, corn, salsa: any combination that's available is great. anything that needs to be used I have left over in the fridge- works for me! Often heap some sour cream in there to be baked with it if the filling is very spicy. Use shredded CHEESE sparingly! The more shredded cheese you use on top, the soggier they get. Otherwise Excellent!!
