Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, add a small amount of oil and heat it over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and bell peppers until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another few minutes.
  4. Cut tortilla wraps into circles and press each circle into a muffin tin to form cups.
  5. Fill each tortilla cup with the chicken mixture and top with shredded cheese.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Allow the cups to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Notes

Watch the baking time to ensure the cups do not overbake and become tough. Use evenly chopped vegetables for uniform cooking.
