Instructions
Tortilla Cups
- Preheat oven to 400. Place olive oil in a shallow dish. Arrange 4 oven safe bowls or mugs upside down on a baking sheet. Dip each tortilla in olive oil, flipping to coat both sides. Shake excess oil off, and drape tortilla over prepared bowls.
- Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes or until browned and crispy. Allow to cool.
Taco Meat
- Brown beef in a medium skillet, stirring to break up chunks, 5-8 minutes or until no longer pink. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper along with 1 cup water. Stir well. Bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
Bowls
- Place tortilla cups into deep cereal bowls. Top with lettuce, taco meat, cheese, black beans, cooked brown rice, corn, sour cream and salsa. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Notes
We used 100% whole wheat and corn tortillas for testing purposes, but any 100% whole grain tortilla is fine.
