Creating Taco Ranch Bites is both fun and rewarding. Follow these simple steps to ensure success:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Taco Seasoning: Stir in taco seasoning and follow package instructions, usually adding some water. Cook until well combined, then set aside.
4. Prepare Tortillas: Cut mini flour tortillas into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. You’ll need two circles for each muffin tin slot.
5. Layer Tortillas: Place one tortilla circle in the bottom of each muffin tin cup, pressing down gently to form a base.
6. Fill with Beef: Add a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef on top of the tortilla base.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
8. Top with Another Tortilla: Add a second tortilla circle on top, pressing down lightly.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
10. Garnish: Once out of the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Top each bite with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, ranch dressing, and any additional toppings you desire.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you will create an impressive batch of Taco Ranch Bites that everyone will love.
