  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For drizzling on tortillas

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances flavor
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese For a robust cheese flavor
  • 1 cup bacon bits Cooked for added crunch and smoky taste
For the Toppings

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush each tortilla with olive oil on both sides and press into a muffin tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and season with garlic powder. Cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and fill tortilla cups.
  3. Sprinkle cheddar cheese and bacon bits on top. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
  4. Chop tomatoes and shred lettuce. Set aside for assembly.
  5. Remove cups from oven, cool slightly, and top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a drizzle of creamy sauce. Serve immediately.
