TINY TEXAS TACO TARTS

This is so quick and easy to put together and looks really special. You can use whatever toppings you happen to have on hand. The filling can also be served as a dip with veggies, fritos or tortilla chips. Prep time includes thawing time while preparing the filling, but does not include chill time. I think this came from somewhere on the internet.

Time 20m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

30 individual frozen miniature phyllo cups, thawed
3/4 cup mayonnaise
6 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk, as needed*
3 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, prepackaged is okay
1 tablespoon lime juice, bottled is fine
grated carrot
shredded cheese
finely chopped green onion
yellow bell peppers or green bell pepper
shredded lettuce, etc

Steps:

Follow direction on package for preparing phyllo shells.
Mix the next 5 ingredients.
I usually prepare and chill the filling early in the day and then fill the tarts & add with toppings shortly before serving. I do not bake the shells.
Or you can bake the shells, cool, fill the tarts, put on toppings, arrange on platter and keep chilled until ready to serve.
*Add just enough to make it creamy. I always just add lemon juice to milk to sour.

TACO DIP PLATTER

To make this zesty appetizer, you simply layer beans, salsa, cheese and other taco-like ingredients onto a platter, reveals Marieann Johansen of Desert Hot Springs, California "I like to call it a 'walking dip', because you can scoop some on a plate with a few tortilla chips, then take it with you as you stroll around and talk with guests," she shares.-Marieann Johansen, Desert Hot Springs, California
