Chipotle Pork Taco Cups

Print
Here's an interesting twist on a pulled pork sandwich that is easy to make and features pork-filled tortillas and Tex-Mex toppings like Cheddar cheese, guacamole and olives.

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray 10 (3-inch) muffin-pan cups with vegetable cooking spray.
Wrap the tortillas between damp paper towels. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds or until the tortillas are warm. Fold 1 tortilla into thirds to form a cone shape. Press the tortilla cone, wide end down, into a muffin-pan cup.  Repeat with the remaining tortillas, rewarming in the microwave as needed.
Bake for 5 minutes or until the tortilla cones are golden. Remove the tortillas from the pan and cool on wire racks.
Heat the pork, salsa and chipotle chile pepper in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is hot and bubbling, stirring often.
Spoon about 1/4 cup pork mixture into each tortilla cone. Top with the cheese, guacamole, sour cream or olives, if desired.
