    • Place a tortilla shell in each muffin tin, carefully pressing it to the sides and bottom. I found it easiest to fold over one section of the shell, then put it into the tin. If the shells are cracking or not folding easily, heat them in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them more flexible.

    • In a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, add steak and shallot. Cook for 5 minutes, then add ¼ cup water and the taco seasoning packet. Stir well before adding Rotel. Cook an additional minute, until Rotel is heated.

    • Evenly distribute the steak mixture between the 12 tortilla shells in the muffin pan and sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top of each.
    • Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tortilla shells begin to turn golden brown and have crisp edges. Serve with sour cream, cilantro, and hot sauce.
