  • 24

Ingredients

  • 1 box (9 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
  • 40 to 45 nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips
  • 2 cans (12 oz each) Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 cup finely shredded Mexican cheese blend

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 30 mini muffin cups with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. In large bowl, mix spinach, tomatoes, cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning mix; set aside.

2. Place about 20 of the tortilla chips in gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Using rolling pin, finely crush to measure 1/2 cup. Stir crushed chips into spinach mixture.

3. Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits; separate each biscuit into 3 layers. Place 1 layer in each of 30 muffin cups; using floured fingers, press dough on bottom and up side of each cup.

4. Fill each cup with about 1 tablespoon spinach mixture. Refrigerate remaining spinach mixture. Sprinkle filling in each cup with about 1 teaspoon cheese. Bake 9 to 14 minutes or until edges of biscuits are golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining biscuits, filling and cheese, cooling pans between batches.

5. To serve, break each of the remaining 20 to 25 tortilla chips into 3 triangular pieces. Insert 1 triangle into each cup. Serve warm.
