Kristy's Easy and Delicious Taco Tartlets

This vintage recipe is perfect for a party because you prep the tartlets early and keep them in the fridge until you are ready to bake them. I first had these in high school at a friend’s party and had my mom call her mom and ask for the recipe. Kristy hand-wrote it on a recipe card and we have been making these for parties ever since. These are best served right out of the oven so have a platter with a bowl of salsa ready for dipping! You will love this easy and delicious taco tartlet. -C
