Print Recipe

Savory phyllo shells filled with seasoned beef, creamy ranch, and cheddar, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bottle (8 oz) ranch dressing
  • 5 packages (15 count each) frozen phyllo tart shells

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until there is no pink remaining. Drain off any fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning packet and the can of diced tomatoes and green chiles (with juices). Reduce heat and cook for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld and excess liquid reduces slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and the ranch dressing.
  5. Add the cooked taco meat to the cheese-and-ranch mixture and stir until evenly mixed.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the frozen phyllo tart shells, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Arrange filled shells on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes if thawed, or 10–13 minutes if they’re still frozen, until the filling is heated through and cheese is melted.
  8. Let cool a minute or two and serve warm.

Notes

Use turkey or plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option. Adjust seasoning to taste. Swap Pepper Jack for cheddar for extra heat.
