Unfussy Taco Cups– LOVE love these straightforward vegan taco cups! I used a base of flour tortillas, refried beans and vegan nacho cheese sauce!
I’ve been dreaming of these Taco Cups for MONTHS! I saw a version of these on Instagram and wanted to make my own spin on them! LOVE love how they turned out and I even managed to make them vegan but still completely satisfying:D
We’re using my vegan nacho cheese sauce with these and it completely makes them!
If you’re not vegan and don’t care if these are dairy free, you can use whatever other cheese or cheese sauce that you desire. If using a melty cheese, I suggest putting it on top of the refried beans, before putting the second tortilla square on top and then baking it with the cups.
You could get away with using simply one tortilla square for these but I genuinely love them with 2. It makes the cups a decent bit sturdier for all of the toppings and simply generally takes memorable. (DO IT!)
I have a LOT of ideas for different flavor variations on these taco cups including a chili lime tofu flavored one and I’m excited to do some experimenting in the kitchen. I’ve also seen people do this with wonton wrappers instead of tortillas and that sounds especially fun!
What other flavors sound good to you!?

Straightforward and savory vegan taco cups!

- Total 22 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas
- ⅔ cup refried beans

- ½ cup of guacamole
- ¼ cup of sour cream (vegan sour cream here)

Method
- 1
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a muffin tin.

Prepare the tortillas by cutting off the edges so that you have a large square and then cut those into 4 smaller squares (see video above for reference).
- 3
Gently tuck a tortilla square into each muffin tin, folding over the sides as needed (again, see video for reference). Place a heaping tablespoon into each tin and then top with another tortilla square so that it gently flattens the beans. Bake for 12 minutes.
