Here’s a fun and spooky recipe for Mummy Tacos that will be a hit at your Halloween gathering!

Mummy Tacos

Ingredients:

• For the Taco Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)

• For the Taco Shells:

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for “bandages”)

• Toppings:

  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sliced black olives (for “eyes”)
  • Sour cream (for decoration)
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
   • Add the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until everything is heated.

2. Prepare the Taco Shells:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • If using flour tortillas, you can warm them slightly in a microwave or skillet to make them more pliable.

3. Assemble the Mummy Tacos:

   • Spoon the taco filling into each taco shell.
   • Place the filled tacos on a baking sheet.
   • Shredded mozzarella cheese can be used to create “bandages” by placing strips over the tacos. Leave gaps for the “eyes.”

4. Bake:

   • Bake the tacos in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

5. Add Spooky Touches:

   • Once out of the oven, use sliced black olives to create “eyes” on the tacos.
   • Drizzle sour cream in ghostly shapes on top for decoration.

6. Serve:

   • Arrange the Mummy Tacos on a platter and serve with extra toppings on the side. Enjoy your spooky Mummy Tacos at your Halloween celebration!
