  SHELLS:

  Combine ingredients for the shells and divide into 30 balls. Press
  into miniature muffin tins forming miniature "pie shells".

  FILLING & TOPPING:

  Combine filling ingredients and divide mixture evenly among the
  meat shells. Place a heaping 1/2 ts shredded cheese on top of the
  filling in each shell.

  Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 7-8 minutes.

  Remove pinata cups from muffin tins and place on paper towels to
  drain. Serve hot.

  Pinata cups may be prepared the day before serving, covered, and
  refrigerated. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 5-8 minutes.

  They may be flash frozen and stored in plastic bags. Reheat frozen
  pinata cups in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until heated
  through.
