Delicious crispy Taco bowls, filled with flavorsome meat sauce and lovely fresh salad, this meal is a winner any time of the year.
What I love about this dish is that it is so interchangeable with so many other recipes, depending on the way it is served.
We really enjoy our Mexican food and always have Tortillas in the cupboard, so I generally tend to make a double batch of the mince mixture to have as either these Taco bowls or Chili Con Carne Baskets or have with rice or even make into pies.
Once your mixture is made you pretty much have an instant meal that tastes delicious and full of nutrition.
You can make your Taco bowls whatever size you prefer, these would be great for game day if they were made in mini muffin tins!
