Chicken Taco Tortilla Cups

Ingredients

• 6 tortillas
• 1 tbsp plain flour (For sealing the tortilla cups)
• 3 tbsp water (For the flour mixture)
• 500 g chicken mince
• 1 sachet Mingle taco seasoning
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 100 ml chicken stock
• 1 red capsicum (Thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup mozzarella (For topping)
• 1 tbsp coriander (Chopped; for finishing)
• oil or cooking spray (For greasing the baking dish)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix the plain flour and water until the mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Make four cuts around each tortilla. Lightly brush the cut edges with the flour mixture, then fold and press the tortillas into cup shapes so the edges are secured.

4. 4

   Place the tortilla cups into a greased baking dish.

5. 5

   Heat a large pan over high heat. Add the chicken mince and cook until browned.

6. 6

   Add the taco seasoning and tomato paste to the browned chicken. Stir well to combine.

7. 7

   Pour in the chicken stock.

8. 8

   Add the thinly sliced red capsicum. Cook the mixture until it has thickened and the liquid has been absorbed.

9. 9

   Spoon the chicken mixture into the tortilla cups.

10. 10

    Top the filled cups with the mozzarella.

11. 11

    Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla edges are crisp.

12. 12

    Finish with the chopped coriander.

Notes

The source does not specify the weight of the taco seasoning sachet or the exact cooking time needed to reduce the filling; cook until the liquid has visibly absorbed and the filling is thick.
