Ingredients
1 lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning
Cornbread mix, prepared according to package instructions for cupcakes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream, for topping
1 large tomato, diced
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Guacamole (optional), for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cornbread: Follow the instructions on the cornbread mix package, but instead of using a regular baking pan, pour the batter into a muffin tin to make cupcake shapes. Bake until firm but not fully cooked.
- Add the Beef: When the cornbread cupcakes are nearly done baking, remove them from the oven. Use a spoon to scoop out the center of each cupcake to make space for the filling.
- Spoon the Beef: Fill the hollowed-out centers with seasoned, cooked ground beef.
- Top with Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef-filled cupcakes. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, top each taco cupcake with sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and cilantro. Optionally, add a dollop of guacamole for extra flavor.
Notes
Customize toppings to suit your taste preferences, such as adding jalapeños or black olives.
Ensure the cornbread cupcakes are firm enough to hold the filling without becoming soggy.
