Equipment

  • 1 Sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bag Tostitos Scoops (about 50) pick the best ones out
  • 1 15oz. can chili, with or without beans or use your own
  • 1 15oz. can refried beans
  • 1 4oz. can chopped, green chiles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. taco seasoning
  • 8-12 pickled jalapeno slices, chopped add more or less to taste
  • 1 cup finely shredded taco blend cheese
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 4oz. can black olives, sliced optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Set oven to broil. Arrange the best shaped scoops in a single layer on your baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl mix sour cream, taco seasoning and jalapenos together until well combined. Place into a sandwich baggie for piping later. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, microwave refried beans for 2-3 minutes or until warm, add green chilis and place into and sandwich baggie. Snip one corner so you can pipe it into the cups better.
  • In each cup pipe about 1/2-1 tsp of refried beans into the bottom of each cup. Then spoon the same amount of the chili over that into each cup. Top each cup with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  • Broil for approximately 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts and the edges of the cups begin to brown slightly.
  • Once cheese is melted and chili is heated through, pipe the sour cream mixture on the cups, sprinkle with green onion and top each cup with one sliced olive.
  • Serve immediately and with additional sour cream and salsa!

Notes

  • Use this as a base to customize your own taco cup creations!
  • Vary the heat by making subtle swaps or adding different peppers.
