 box (9 oz) Green Giant® frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
1
 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
1
 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1
 cup sour cream
1/2
 teaspoon taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
40

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 30 mini muffin cups with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. In large bowl, mix spinach, tomatoes, cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning mix; set aside. 2 Place about 20 of the tortilla chips in gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Using rolling pin, finely crush to measure 1/2 cup. Stir crushed chips into spinach mixture. 3 Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits; separate each biscuit into 3 layers. Place 1 layer in each of 30 muffin cups; using floured fingers, press dough on bottom and up side of each cup. 4 Fill each cup with about 1 tablespoon spinach mixture. Refrigerate remaining spinach mixture. Sprinkle filling in each cup with about 1 teaspoon cheese. Bake 9 to 14 minutes or until edges of biscuits are golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining biscuits, filling and cheese, cooling pans between batches. 5 To serve, break each of the remaining 20 to 25 tortilla chips into 3 triangular pieces. Insert 1 triangle into each cup. Serve warm.
Regular-size muffin cups can be substituted for the mini muffin cups. Press biscuit layer in bottom and 1/2 inch up side of each muffin cup. Fill and bake as directed.
