Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough 16.3 oz
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Roll out the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into halves.
  5. Press each half into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin tin cups to form a shell.
  6. Spoon the seasoned beef into each biscuit shell, filling them about halfway.
  7. Top with a tablespoon of salsa and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  10. Top each taco cupcake with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions before serving.
