Method
-
Make the Salsa:
In a bowl, combine the finely diced red onion, red capsicum, tomato, and chopped coriander. Mix with lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. -
Prepare the Base:
In a separate bowl, combine the 2 cups crushed corn chips and 1 cup grated cheese. Press this mixture into muffin cups to form the base of each taco cup. -
Prepare the Filling:
In a pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once browned, add the Mexi Vince and 1 cup of boiling water. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the Vince to rehydrate. -
Mix the Filling:
Stir in the black beans and mix well. -
Assemble the Taco Cups:
Spoon ¼ cup of the filling mixture into each muffin cup, which already has the corn chip base. Sprinkle with more grated cheese. -
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Finish by grilling for a few minutes to brown the cheese. -
Serve:
Top each taco cup with fresh salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh coriander. Serve warm.
