Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop all your fresh ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the taco bites.
- Warm the Tortillas: Lightly warming the mini tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to work with, preventing them from tearing when you fill them.
- Layering is Key: Spread the refried beans evenly to create a sturdy base, and layer the ingredients in the order listed for the best flavor and presentation.
- Cheese Melting Trick: If you want a melty cheese effect, pop the assembled bites into a warm oven for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Garnish for Color: Don’t skip the cilantro! It adds a fresh pop of color and flavor that elevates the dish.
- Avocado Variations: If you want to switch things up, consider adding a drizzle of lime juice to the avocado slices to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.
- Serve with Dips: Consider pairing these taco bites with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side for an extra flavor boost.
- Make it a Meal: For a heartier option, serve these bites alongside a fresh salad or rice to turn them into a full meal.
