Mini Taco Bowls

Makes 48 tacos. I served the lettuce, fresh salsa, guacamole & sour cream on the side for make-your-own mini tacos.
I rarely find a "dish to pass" that my kids will actually eat. So I wanted to make something that I know they'll love to eat. Turns out, so did all my family and friends!
