INGREDIENT NOTES:

CORN TORTILLAS:

  • Corn tortillas make a crispy shell for the cups. We will bake instead of frying to save calories and WW points. You may use whole wheat tortillas as another choice.

EXTRA-LEAN BEEF STEAK:

  • It includes plenty of protein and a rich beef taste while keeping the fat low. Use chicken breast as an alternative.

TACO SEASONING:

  • Taco seasoning provides classic Mexican-inspired taste without adding extra calories. You may use chili powder as another option.

FAT-FREE REFRIED BEANS:

  • They give fiber and protein to the casserole. Fat-free refried beans include creaminess while making the cups more filling. You may use black beans as another idea.

AVOCADO:

  • Avocado gives healthy fats and makes a creamy guacamole topping. Use mashed avocado with salsa as per your preference.

REDUCED-FAT QUESO FRESCO:

  • This cheese gives an authentic taste while reducing fat & calories. You may use light cotija cheese if reduced-fat queso fresco is not available.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, warm the oven to 375°F and cover each side of the tortilla using cooking spray.
  2. Include a tortilla in a muffin tin to make cup shapes and bake for 12 minutes.
  3. Remove the tortillas and let them cool.
  4. Then heat the olive oil on a medium-high flame in a large skillet.
  5. Cook the onion for two minutes and the garlic for 30 seconds.
  6. Include diced steak, salt, seasoning, and pepper to cook for 8 minutes.
  7. Stir occasionally till the steak gets brown and turn off the flame.
  8. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix with lime juice to make a smooth mixture.
  9. Add one tbsp. Refried beans into the tortilla cups and top with cooked steak.
