Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/3 cup water
Toppings and Base
- 1 bag Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips
- Sour cream, for topping
- Chunky salsa, for topping
- Shredded cheese, for topping
- Sliced green onion, for topping
- Guacamole, for topping
Instructions
- Cook the beef and onion: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion. Stir frequently until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to ensure bite-sized pieces aren’t greasy.
- Season the meat: Add the taco seasoning, garlic powder, and water to the cooked beef and onion. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the water has evaporated and the seasoning is evenly absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Assemble the taco bites: Arrange the Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the seasoned beef mixture onto each chip. Top each with your choice of sour cream, chunky salsa, shredded cheese, sliced green onion, and guacamole. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect mix of crunchy, savory, and creamy flavors.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of taco seasoning according to your preferred spice level.
- For a lower-fat option, use lean or extra-lean ground beef.
- Feel free to add other toppings like jalapeños or chopped tomatoes based on your taste.
- Prepare the beef mixture ahead of time to save time during serving, but assemble just before serving to keep the chips crisp.
- These taco bites are great for parties, game days, or quick appetizers.
