Mexican Snack Cups

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I had a little trouble getting the rounds of corn torilla to fit inside the mini-muffin pan. They wanted to pop back out. I found that if I heated them slightly in the microwave, they didn't crack when pushed into the cups...and I then, checked on them half way through baking time and pushed the ones that had worked their way up back into the tins. I also had to bake a bit longer in order to get the desired crispness. Perhaps my corn tortillas were too thick and not flexible enough. I was leary of the maple syrup addition to the recipe and tested a bit with a small portion of the bean mixture. It wasn't a flavor that I cared for...so, I omitted it from the rest of the recipe. These were very colorful and had a great flavor (with the changes that I made).
