1-1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your favorite cheeses)
1 can (16 ounces) jumbo homestyle biscuits
Cooking spray or additional olive oil for greasing the muffin tin
Directions
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the biscuit package, typically around 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat Olivelle Fiesta Spice Olive Oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks to ensure even browning.
Sprinkle the Olivelle cumin and garlic seasoning over the ground beef. Stir well to evenly coat the beef with the aromatic spices. Let it cook for another minute or two to infuse the flavors.
Separate the jumbo homestyle biscuits into individual pieces.
Place one biscuit into each greased muffin cup, pressing it down to line the bottom and sides of the cup.
Spoon a portion of the seasoned ground beef into each biscuit-lined muffin cup, filling it about ¾ of the way.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the ground beef in each cup.
Bake the Stacked Taco Bites in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the Stacked Taco Bites cool for a few minutes.
Use a spoon or small spatula to carefully remove each Stacked Taco Bite from the muffin tin.
Serve the Stacked Taco Bites warm at your gathering. They pair perfectly with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or any other favorite taco toppings.
