Mexican Cheese & Bell Pepper Taco Cups
Hosting friends on Friday night? Whip up a tray of golden mini taco cups—crispy, cheesy, and packed with colorful fillings. With the Geedel Vegetable Chopper dicing bell peppers and onions in just 15 minutes, these handheld treats are effortlessly delicious and totally mess-free. The surefire snack that wins every party!
Ingredients
6 taco-sized tortillas
100g ground beef
½ colored bell pepper (mix of red & yellow)
¼ small onion
50g shredded mozzarella
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp salt
A pinch of black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Dice the Veggies: Rainbow Filling Made Easy
Wash and deseed the bell peppers; cut into 2cm strips. Peel and slice the onion. Load both into the Geedel Vegetable Chopper (medium blade). With its non-slip base staying steady even on a coffee table, press down twice—you'll get vibrant 1cm confetti-like dices, colorful and perfectly separated. Transfer to a container.
2. Cook the Filling: Flavorful & Colorful
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until browned (about 2 minutes), draining excess fat. Add the diced peppers and onion, along with chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in tomato sauce, mix well, and let cool for 5 minutes (so the cheese won't melt too quickly during assembly).
3. Shape & Bake the Taco Cups: Crispy & Adorable
Lightly grease a muffin tin. Cut tortillas into rounds slightly larger than the muffin molds, then press each into the cups. Layer each with 1 tsp shredded mozzarella, 2 tbsp of the beef-veggie filling, and top with another tsp of cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden and cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove, garnish with parsley, and arrange on a clean platter—golden cups with colorful fillings and oozy cheese, almost too pretty to eat!
4. Party Prep Tips
Use the Geedel to chop veggies and prep the filling ahead—refrigerate until your guests arrive. Short on time? Use store-bought mini taco shells. Serve with sour cream or lime wedges to boost flavor and visual appeal.
Conclusion
The Geedel Vegetable Chopper ensures evenly diced peppers and onions for vibrant taco fillings, while its non-slip base and quick-clean design make party prep effortless. Perfect for hosts, it helps create stunning shareable snacks in 15 minutes—the kind that vanish instantly and leave guests asking for your recipe. Now that's a party win!
