Taco Tartlets

Erin S made this a long time ago as well. She also thought this might be good in a 8x8 pan and use it as a dip. Crumble the meat, rather than press it. Just for a different twist on it :)

• 2 Tablespoons ice water

  Tortilla Chip Filling:
• 1 Cup sour cream

• 2 ounces black olives, chopped
• 3/4 Cup coarsely crushed tortilla chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425º. In medium bowl, mix beef, taco seasoning mix and ice water with hands. Press into bottom and up sides of mini-muffin pan, using tart shaper. Prepare tortilla chip filling by mixing all ingredients in small bowl. Place a spoonful of filling into each shell, mounding slightly.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over tops. Bake 7-8 minutes. Remove tartlets from pan with tip of knife (or spoon). Serve immediately or cool and freeze.

Yield: 30-36
