Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
2 Using 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut 2 rounds from each tortilla. Place rounds on microwavable plate; microwave on High 15 seconds to soften. Place each in muffin cup, using bottom of small juice glass to press into each cup.
3 In medium bowl, toss chicken with 1 cup salsa. Place 1 teaspoon cheese in bottom of each tortilla-lined cup; add 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture to each. Top each with another teaspoon of cheese.
4 Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas are crisp.
5 To serve, top each with lettuce, sour cream and additional salsa or your favorite taco toppings.

Made these with beef tonight & followed recipe but I used an envelope of taco seasoning while cooking the beef. Cooked them for 20 min, but had a tough time getting them out of the muffin tin without them collapsing. Think I need to let them sit & cool for a little bit before I try to get them out next time and definitely want to try the chicken!

I made these for a small group of people and they were a BIIIG HIT! I cooked raw chicken and loaded it with seasoning, when I added the salsa it made it just spicy enough. I also used raw tortillas that you cook then cut them into circles. My circles were a tad small for my large muffin pans but they still worked and turned out delicous!
