Ingredients
12 Borden Cheese® Pepper Jack Melts
1/2 small white onion, diced
8 oz chorizo
1 can refried beans
12 street-taco-sized tortillas
Optional toppings: diced jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, and fresh cubed Roma tomatoes
Steps
1
PREHEAT your oven to 375°F
2
PREPARE the filling: In a medium skillet, heat 2 tsp oil over medium heat.
3
ADD diced white onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4
ADD the chorizo to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon and season as desired. Cook until fully browned, about 5 minutes.
5
STIR in the refried beans until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes. If desired, add any of the optional toppings (diced jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, and fresh Roma tomatoes) into the mixture.
6
PREPARE the muffin tin: Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Press a street taco-sized tortilla into each cup, creating a small tortilla bowl.
7
ASSEMBLE the cups: Place a Borden Pepper Jack Melt at the bottom of each tortilla cup. Spoon the chorizo and bean mixture evenly into each cup. Top each cup with another Borden Pepper Jack Melt. Note: if your muffin tin is on the smaller size, feel free to slice up Borden Pepper Jack Melts to make them fit.
8
BAKE Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
9
SERVE Remove the cups from the muffin tin and top with your favorite toppings like diced jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, and fresh Roma tomatoes. Serve warm and enjoy!
