Preparation Steps

• Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350ºF.
• Cook Beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
• Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning, then add the can of diced tomatoes and green chiles. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes before removing from heat.
• Prepare Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese and Ranch dressing. Then, combine this with the cooked taco meat.
• Assemble Tarts: Carefully spoon the taco meat mixture into the frozen phyllo tart shells. If you plan to freeze them for later, now is the time to do so.
• Bake: Place the filled tarts in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. If baking from frozen, add an extra 2-3 minutes to the bake time to ensure they heat through properly.
