A fitness instructor, recipe developer, creator of the Katie Austin app Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. I'm here to help make living healthy simple. Whether it's through the recipes you fuel your body with or the workouts you do every day, I want you to feel confident in building a daily routine that feels right for YOU. Let's get started, together!
These Veggie Taco Bites are a fun and tasty way to enjoy all your favorite taco flavors in a bite-sized, plant-based form. Perfect for snacking or as a light appetizer, they’re packed with fresh veggies and zesty goodness.
I used mini muffin tins for this so most of these measurements but if you want to make bigger versions in normal sized trays, feel free to use more of all the ingredients!!
The recipe:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
While your oven preheats, melt your butter in a microwave safe bowl so you can coat your tortillas.
Prep by cutting your tortillas into quarters and dice your veggies. If using canned beans and corn, make sure to drain the liquid out before adding to the pan.
Dip your tortillas into your butter and coat evenly before molding to the muffin tins.
Put your buttered tortillas in the oven for approximately 8-10 minutes to toast (or until the edges are golden brown). But don’t leave them in too long because once your veggies are done, you’ll place the tray back in!
While your tortillas toast, add your onions and bell pepper to a pan with a little bit of olive oil. After a few minutes, add in your corn and beans and your jalapeno! Season with taco seasoning, salt and pepper.
Remove your tortillas from the oven, but don’t turn off the oven yet!
Scoop your veggies into each tortilla-filled muffin tin and top each one with cheese! Put the tray back into the oven so the cheese can melt and remove after 2-4 minutes.
Top with your favorite toppings – I love using Greek yogurt as a sour cream sub!! Enjoy!!
Feel free to add meat in too if you’d like for the filling!!
