I remember standing inside of Ross trying to convince Josh that buying a set of 3 ramekins for $3.99 was a good investment. He stood there trying to rack his brain of excuses to try and talk me out of it. But my mind was made up! If he wouldn’t splurge and buy me the Rachael Ray mini muffin pan I wanted, then he was going to buy me these ramekins and I was indeed going to prove to him, that they were not a waste of money.
The night I made this meal of Taco Ramekins, I heard this, “I was wrong and you were right about buying the ramekins. You have used them for so many things!” Inside I was gloating like a cat who ate the canary. But I played it cool and mature on the outside, by simply saying, “Thank you. And just think, if we ever run out of things to cook in them, they make not only excellent prep bowls, but also great feeding dishes for our cat!” See- I was cool, and collected! But I promise, inside my head I was doing cartwheels over getting him to admit that he was wrong!
It’s not every day that I actually win an argument. Normally, I am the one that is truly at fault…and I can admit I’m wrong, but I prefer to use my womanly wiles (while I still possess them) and flirt and kiss my way out of apologizing. A little distraction never hurt anyone right?
This meal is so easy my 7 year old could do it! It’s also really delicious, filling, and a fun fake out take on a taco! I used our bigger ramekins for Josh and I and our smaller ramekins for the kids. I highly suggest you make this if you’ve got some ramekins lying around!

Thanks, Angie! My kids love these because they get their own little portion. It's fun for sleepovers and parties if you have Mexican food lovers in your family like I do mine. Thanks for commenting! :) Have a great weekend!

Nice recipe! And I use ramekins all the time - we have about a dozen of the 4-ounce size, and I need some bigger ones. They're great for individual servings of dessert (chocolate mousse, pudding, whatever - you can even bake little serving-sized cobblers in them). Really nice blog - I'm glad you visited mine so I discovered yours. BTW, we have a cat who absolutely rules our life (and we're delighted he does!).
