Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 pound ground pork
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
• 1.5 cups crushed corn chips
• 0.25 cup taco sauce, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Step 3

Combine ground beef, ground pork, Cheddar cheese, corn chips, salsa, egg, taco seasoning mix, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix until well combined. Form mixture into 12 equally-sized balls and press into a 12-cup muffin tin. Baste each "muffin" with taco sauce to coat.
