Biscuit Taco Cups
It’s no secret that tacos are a favourite in this house. Yet, with two toddlers, it isn’t the most ‘friendly’ of recipes when it comes to … total mess!
So, I thought I’d try Biscuit Taco Cups and see if they were more of a kid-friendly choice.
I usually make my own biscuits {simple to make and just a few ingredients}.
Yet, for added ease, you can also use Pillsbury Grand bisquits {though they are hard to find in stores near me}.
Delicious and just plain cute – Biscuit Taco Cups are a must-try. Though small, the addition of the Biscuits make them very filling, one could do most people. The kids made less mess and we all gobbled them up. And, the biscuits heat up nice the next day too, for leftovers!

I have done something similar, but used flat bread as the “cup” (and fiddled around making that cup stay in place) This looks like it take much less effort and somthing my husband can get ready for dinner too! Which is a bonus for me! thanks for sharing!
Tammi says
Good to note: flatbread when in a pinch! I also have a hard time finding the Grands, not sure why most stores here don’t have it. Anyway, the Grands is much easier to make into cups than the regular size package!
Adam says
I’ve done this with mashed potatoes, beef and gravy and it turned out really well.
Will definitely need to try tacos.
Tammi says
Oh, that sounds good! Do you mean to put the ingredients inside the biscuit cups? Link me a recipe if you can!
🙂
Adam says
Yup, I made the biscuit cups exactly like you did.
I browned a half pound of ground beef with onions, salt and pepper. Gravy was just a store-bought package where you add water. Mashed potatoes however you make them.
I then half-cooked the biscuits, put half mashed potato, half beef into the cups and cooked the rest of the time.
Once they were done I added the gravy to the top and served.
