Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Drain corn. Halve lime. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; thinly slice leaves.
Cut four evenly spaced 2-inch slits around the edge of each tortilla (this will help the tortilla form into a cup shape).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat. Transfer to a plate; wipe out pan.
Generously coat 6 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin (all the cups for 4 servings) with nonstick cooking spray.
Wrap prepared tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds.
Press tortillas into wells of prepared muffin tin to form tortilla cups.
Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 10-15 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
While taco cups bake, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add corn and half the Fajita Spice Blend (you'll use more later). Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain beans.
Once corn has cooked 4-6 minutes, add beans to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Use pan used for turkey. Once beans are warmed through, add turkey and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp Fajita Spice Blend, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and juice from lime until thoroughly combined (4 TBSP olive oil, 2 tsp Fajita Spice Blend, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings).
Add lettuce and bean and corn mixture to bowl with dressing. Toss to combine.
Divide sour cream, Mexican cheese blend, and hot sauce between small serving bowls. Serve taco cups, black bean and corn salad, and toppings family style so everyone can build their own taco cups.

Reviews from our home cooks
My family absolutely loved these taco salad cups! They were very easy to make and easy clean up too! We will be ordering these again!
Easy easy recipe. Makes enough for a potluck dinner for a small group.
Delicious. Please have this on the menu options again soon.
Too hard to eat. Make the bowls bigger and 1 per serving. It needed salsa.
There was way more meat/bean than all other ingredients. Difficult to eat. Cute idea in theory, in practice it was, ... meh.
The ground turkey was a bit bland but everything else was great
Really like them flavor was great but really hard to eat. Very cute!
The meat should be a default instead of an add-on. Is there some way to enhance the flavor on the tortilla shells?
Could use more seasoning. And the shells were difficult to eat out of.
