These Mexican-style snacks will surely add sparkle to a slumber party spread! To make them, line muffin cups with tortilla shells, then filled each with a not-too-spicy beef mixture kids can garnish with cheese, lettuce and other toppings. For tasty dippers besides, you could serve the cutout stars with salsa.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

sour cream
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
2. Add salsa, ketchup, chili powder and salt; heat through.
3. Cut each tortilla into a 4-in. square; set scraps aside.
4. Microwave eight squares at a time for 20 seconds.
5. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of greased muffin cups; set aside.
