Directions
Step 1
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

On a large serving platter, arrange the tortilla scoop chips in a single layer, ensuring none are overlapping.
Step 5
Fill each tortilla scoop with approximately 1 teaspoon of seasoned ground beef.
Step 6
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each scoop.
Step 7
Add a dab of sour cream and a small spoonful of salsa to each taco scoop.
Step 8
Top each scoop with a small piece of diced tomato, a slice of black olive, and a few tiny pieces of avocado.
Step 9
Sprinkle the scoops with fresh chopped cilantro for garnish.
Step 10
