My son said these Taco Cheeseburger Cups are better than regular tacos, and that’s pretty high praise from an almost-5-year-old!
These Kid-Friendly Cheeseburger Cups were the first recipe like this that I tried. I loved them, my husband loved them, and our son loved them. And so did you guys! All our cheeseburger cup recipes are so popular here, and I just love trying new versions of them!
I just turned our favorite pizza into a cheeseburger cup, and I thought, why not tacos, too? And we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!
One trick to making these is that you’ll want to put a lipped baking sheet under your muffin tin before you put it in the oven. The taco sauce bubbled out of the muffin tin and all over the bottom of my oven while these were baking. So do yourself a favor and save some cleanup! (Bonus tip – line the baking sheet with aluminum foil for even easier cleanup.)
Enjoy!
