TINY TEXAS TACO TARTS
This is so quick and easy to put together and looks really special. You can use whatever toppings you happen to have on hand. The filling can also be served as a dip with veggies, fritos or tortilla chips. Prep time includes thawing time while preparing the filling, but does not include chill time. I think this came from somewhere on the internet.

Steps:
- Follow direction on package for preparing phyllo shells.
- Mix the next 5 ingredients.
- I usually prepare and chill the filling early in the day and then fill the tarts & add with toppings shortly before serving. I do not bake the shells.
- Or you can bake the shells, cool, fill the tarts, put on toppings, arrange on platter and keep chilled until ready to serve.
- *Add just enough to make it creamy. I always just add lemon juice to milk to sour.

Tips:
- To make the taco tarts ahead of time, assemble them and bake them according to the recipe. Let them cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
- If you don't have a mini muffin pan, you can use a regular muffin pan. Just increase the baking time to 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the tarts are golden brown and the centers are set.
- To make the taco tarts vegetarian, omit the ground beef and add an extra cup of black beans. You can also add other vegetables to the filling, such as chopped bell peppers, onions, or corn.
- To make the taco tarts gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. You can also use a gluten-free pie crust mix to make the tart shells.
- Serve the taco tarts with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
