April Fool’s Day Muffin Tin Meal: “Taco Salad”

Did you play any April Fool’s Day jokes this year?  Here’s ours! A taco salad muffin tin meal is a pretty common meal at our house. My kids have a hard time eating tacos, but they will eat all the ingredients with a fork out of a muffin tin.  So, for April Fool’s Day, we made a “taco salad” muffin tin meal.

April Fool’s Day “Taco Salad” Muffin Tin Meal

  • shredded coconut dyed green (lettuce)
  • whipped topping (sour cream)
  • chocolate ice cream (refried beans)
  • shredded coconut dyed yellow (cheese)
  • canned cherries (tomatoes)
  • cinnamon tortilla chips

To make the cinnamon tortilla chips, I buttered a large flour tortilla, then sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar.  Then I sliced it up with a pizza cutter. I baked it at 350 for about 5 minutes.

  2. What a great idea!! I saw lots of April Fool’s Meals on Pinterest but wasn’t really up to making any of them- however, we have done Make Your Own Muffin Tin Taco Salads, so this would have been great and I think my kids may have even fallen for it!
