Slam Dunk Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with 24 liners.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, using a electric mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium to medium-high speed for 30 seconds, gradually adding the granulated sugar about 1/4 cup at a time, until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl down and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the honey and vanilla. Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Fold in the chopped peanuts.
• Spoon the batter into the lined pans, filling the cups half to two-thirds full. Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in the cupcake center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
• Frost the cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. Place caramel popcorn on top of the frosting in a mounded fashion, pressing gently to secure.
• Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth. Add the vanilla extract. Alternately add the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream, beating on high after each addition until the frosting reaches piping consistency.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir together beef, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the taco seasoning mix (from dinner kit.) Shape mixture into 30 (1 1/4-inch) balls; place in pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center. Keep warm.
• Heat tortillas (from dinner kit) as directed on package. Fill each tortilla with lettuce, pico de gallo, remaining shredded cheese and 3 meatballs. Serve tacos with taco sauce (from dinner kit.)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the mustard powder, wasabi powder, salt, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, honey and 1/4 cup beer. Mix well, then stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, onion and cilantro.
• Place saucepan on the stovetop and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Pour in beer as needed to keep a consistency slightly thinner than ketchup.

Steps:

• Mix apricot preserves and horseradish in a bowl; stir in pineapple. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
