Mexican Appetizer Cups

These mexican appetizer cups are so dang delicious! They’re one of my favorite things to make for superbowl parties! I found the original Pillsbury recipe a few years ago and while I am sure it’s delicious, I have made my own personal changes to make it better. The only hard part about making these is that you have to break the biscuits into layers, but I promise it’s not actually hard; it does take a little time though. You can also use this mixture as a chip dip instead of the trusty ole spinach and artichoke dip that appears at most parties! Also, I apologize for my horrendous photos. I was running out the door and didn’t have time to set up the stage for them to look pretty for a photo shoot. That sounds like a joke, but in blog land it’s so so true.

Gather the goods.

• Once you have squeezed the water from your spinach, mix all ingredients together except for the Doritos.

• Crush your Doritos and add to the spinach mixture.

• Separate your JUNIOR biscuit layers into 2 or 3 pieces. Sometimes you can only get 2 layers, and that is ok. Just take that into account when you’re figuring out how many you need. You can also use regular sized biscuits, but you’ll have a more biscuity (that’s a foodie term, I swear). Just split them into 3 or 4 layers instead of 2 or 3.
• Place 1 layer in each muffin cups and press dough on bottom and up the side of each cup.
• Fill each cup with about 1 Tbsp spinach mixture. Sprinkle filling in each cup with about 1 tsp cheese.
• In a preheated 375 degree oven, bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges of biscuits are golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. tick tock. tick tock.
  

Optional: Add 1 cup of cooked shredded chicken, cooked ground beef, or ground turkey
