Notes
- For picky eaters, you can blend vegetables like grated carrots or zucchini into the meat mixture.
- If your kids prefer a milder flavor, use less taco seasoning or a mild variety.
- These are great for meal prepping. Cook the meat ahead of time and assemble the cups just before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
