How to Make Mini Taco Cups

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and position the rack to the uppermost position.
  2. Arrange 48 unbroken tortilla chips in a single layer on one or two baking sheets.
  3. In a small bowl, gently combine 1/4 cup sour cream, 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños, and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning.
  4. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of chili into each tortilla chip cup.
  5. Top each cup with about 1/2 teaspoon of shredded cheese.
  6. Place the baking sheets on the top oven rack and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chili is heated through. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  8. Dollop a small amount of the jalapeño sour cream mixture onto each mini taco cup.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra sour cream on the side for dipping.
