In a skillet, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain fat.
Add taco seasoning and diced tomatoes and green chiles. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine shredded cheddar cheese, Ranch dressing, and taco meat.
Spoon taco meat mixture into frozen phyllo tart shells. You can freeze for later at this point.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese melts. (Add 2-3 minutes to the baking time if baking frozen tarts).
Notes:
Can freeze tarts unbaked for a quick snack later.You can find the frozen phyllo tart shells in the freezer section near the puff pastry.Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning made with chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/Here is our recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing: https://www.plainchicken.com/copycat-outback-ranch-dressing/
