This vegetable-packed filling is full of healthy black beans and lean ground turkey. Spoon it into homemade taco cups using your muffin tins for a marvelous main meal or fun appetizer. Cooking main meals in muffin tins make for easy portion control, and it looks adorable, too. Serve these with a Tex-Mex-inspired salad of mixed greens, shredded red cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped scallions, and corn kernels. A Greek yogurt-ranch dressing would be the perfect finishing touch.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat one side of tortillas with cooking spray; gently pleat and place 1 tortilla, sprayed side down, in each of 8 large muffin cups. Bake until crisp, 12–15 minutes; remove and let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; set over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion, and pepper; cook, breaking up turkey, until turkey is cooked through and onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
  3. Add taco seasoning, salt, and chipotle; stir to combine. Add tomatoes, beans, and corn; heat through. Spoon about 3/4 cup filling into each tortilla cup; sprinkle with cheese and cilantro and serve.
