Taco Biscuit Bites
Taco Biscuit Bites are flavorful, cheesy snacks combining biscuit dough with taco sauce and Parmesan cheese, perfect for parties, appetizers, or quick bites for all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine taco sauce, milk, and dried onion flakes in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add biscuit mix to the mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times.
- Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place the cut dough on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some shredded cheese or cooked ground beef into the dough. If you don't have taco sauce, salsa can be a great substitute. For a vegetarian twist, use black beans instead of meat. Make sure not to over-knead the dough to keep the biscuit bites tender, similar to the technique used in Restaurant Style Biscuits.
Serving Suggestions
These Taco Biscuit Bites make a fun appetizer or snack, perfect for a game day gathering. Serve them alongside a fresh salsa or guacamole for dipping. They also pair wonderfully with a side of Mexican-style rice or a simple green salad for a more complete meal. For a sweet treat afterward, try Rell'S Christmas Candy for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Taco Biscuit Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This will help retain their texture, making them almost as delicious as when they were first baked.
