Ingredients

Taco Meat:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 2 tbsp Rave Chili Lime Rub
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Taco Bites:

  • 12 scoop-style tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Fresh chopped chives for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Meat Filling

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until beef is browned and onions are soft.
  2. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the Rave Chili Lime Rub, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.

Smoke the Meat and Melt the Cheese
3. Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Spread the cooked taco meat on a tray or foil-lined, smoker-safe pan.
4. Spoon the smoked taco meat into each scoop chip on a separate smoker-safe tray. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat.
5. Place the tray of assembled taco bites in the smoker for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the bites are warmed through.

Add Toppings
6. Remove from the smoker. Top each taco bite with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a small dollop of sour cream. Garnish with fresh chopped chives.

Serve these warm, smoky, and cheesy taco bites at your next gathering!
