Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning
– Cornbread mix, prepared according to package instructions for cupcakes
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Sour cream, for topping
– 1 large tomato, diced
– Chopped green onions, for garnish
– Chopped cilantro, for garnish
– Guacamole (optional), for topping
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Cornbread Base:**
– Preheat your oven according to the cornbread mix instructions.
– Prepare the cornbread batter as directed on the package.
– Pour the batter into a muffin tin to create cupcake shapes.
– Bake the cornbread until firm but not fully cooked, so they hold their shape but remain soft enough to manipulate.
2. **Add the Beef Filling:**
– While the cornbread muffins are baking, cook the ground beef with taco seasoning.
– Once the muffins are nearly done, remove them from the oven.
– Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the center of each muffin, creating a small hollow.
3. **Spoon in the Savory Goodness:**
– Fill each hollowed-out muffin with the seasoned ground beef, ensuring each one is generously filled.
4. **Top with Cheese and Bake:**
– Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef-filled muffins.
– Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. **Garnish and Serve:**
– Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly.
– Top each muffin with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and cilantro.
– For an extra treat, add a spoonful of guacamole on top before serving.
