Directions:
Cook the Meat:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Cups:
If using mini tortillas, gently press them into the cups of a mini muffin tin to form little bowls. If using phyllo shells, place them in the muffin cups as they are.
Assemble the Taco Cups:
Spoon the taco meat mixture into each shell.
Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the filled taco cups in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Add Toppings:
Remove the taco cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Top with your choice of sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, jalapeños, and cilantro.
