Cheesy Beef Tortilla Cups

1 pound Lean Ground Beef
2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
2 cups Salsa (heat Level Of Your Choice)
2 cups Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained
Salt And Pepper, to taste
8 whole Soft Tortillas (6" Size)
1 cup Reduced-fat Cheddar Cheese


In a large pan, brown the ground beef along with the taco seasoning. Add the salsa and black beans. Allow to simmer together for a couple of minutes and taste to check if additional salt and pepper are needed.

Spray a large muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and place 1 tortilla in each muffin cup. Divide the beef mixture evenly between the muffin cups and sprinkle equal amounts of cheese over each one. Bake in a preheated 375ºF oven for approximately 20 minutes until the tortilla is lightly crispy and the cheese has melted.
