I haven't tried these yet but I'm submitting anyway because they sound cute and different. I found this recipe in the Daily Herald, in an article on heart healthy food for children.
Ingredients:
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 small onion
1 tablespoon water
1 slice whole wheat bread, crust removed
1 tablespoon skim milk
1 lb ground turkey
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
2 tablespoons mild taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon chili powder
vegetable oil cooking spray
6 6-inch corn tortillas (to keep heart-healthy, buy tortillas that do not have lard listed on the ingredient list)
1/4 cup grated low-fat cheddar cheese
6 teaspoons mild chunky salsa
Directions:
1. Rinse and chop green pepper; peel and chop onion.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix green pepper, onion and water; cover with wax paper and microwave for 4 minutes then let cool.
3. Heat oven to 350°.
4. Into a medium bowl, crumble bread into small pieces; add milk and let stand for 3 to 4 minutes; stir until blended.
5. Crumble turkey into bread mixture; add parsley, taco seasoning, chili powder and cooked green pepper and onion; mix well.
6. Spray muffin pan cups with vegetable spray.
7. Using kitchen scissors, cut 4 slashes in each tortilla from the outer edge toward the center; place tortillas into muffin pan cups.
8. Divide the turkey mixture evenly over the tortillas; cover with foil and place muffin pan in oven; bake for 30 minutes.
9. Remove sombreros from muffin pan and place on plates; spoon 1 teaspoon of salsa on top of each sombrero and top with cheese.
