Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for Mexican appetizer cups, but you can also use flour tortillas or even wonton wrappers. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them, so they don't crack.
  • Don't overfill the cups: Mexican appetizer cups are meant to be small bites, so don't overfill them with ingredients. Aim for about 1-2 tablespoons of filling per cup.
  • Get creative with your fillings: Mexican appetizer cups can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including meats, cheeses, vegetables, and beans. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
  • Don't forget the toppings: Toppings are what really take Mexican appetizer cups to the next level. Try adding things like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, or cilantro.
  • Serve immediately: Mexican appetizer cups are best served immediately, while the tortillas are still crispy. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to reheat them before serving.

Conclusion:

Mexican appetizer cups are a delicious and easy-to-make party food that is sure to please a crowd.
