  1. These look amazing and will DEFINITELY be part of our Super Bowl snack food!! (They’ll be perfect, too, as we go out of town with family friends each year for our own Super Bowl party!! Yummy finger food, no game-day hassle!!)
    Just to clarify…these are made in a regular-sized muffin pan (not mini-muffin)?**I’m sorry to hear you broke your New Year’s Resolution, but so thankful it ended with a new recipe for you to share with us!! And think of it this way, you saved yourself 3 days worth of ‘eating out expenses’…that’s a 60% savings!! 🙂

    1. Colleen, New Year’s Resolutions are always a “work in progress”, right? Yes, use a regular sized muffin pan. The mini would be way too small and then you’d have to eat 10 of them at once. 🙂

  3. These look great! But, I am a little confused on the quantity. The recipe says to quarter 6 tortillas and use 2 in each cup, which would be enough for 12 cups, but the servings say 24 muffin cups?

    1. Oh, good catch Heidi. I was originally doing them with one tortilla quarter per muffin cup. I’ll get it corrected. 🙂

    1. I would cook longer or at a higher temperature. If you use two tortillas in each cup, it should firm up like a cup. When I used one tortilla, it was considerably more soggy.

  5. I’m excited to try this recipe! Is there an alternative for cream cheese? We aren’t a huge fan of cc (or sour cream)

    Thanks!
