Directions
1.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 10 (3-inch) muffin-pan cups with the cooking spray.
2.
Wrap the tortillas between damp paper towels. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds or until the tortillas are warm. Fold 1 tortilla into thirds to form a cone shape. Press the tortilla cone, wide end down, into a muffin-pan cup. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, rewarming in the microwave as needed.
3.
Bake for 5 minutes or until the tortilla cones are golden. Remove the tortillas from the pan and cool on wire racks.
4.
Heat the pork, salsa and chipotle chile pepper in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is hot and bubbling, stirring often.
5.
Spoon about 1/4 cup pork mixture into each tortilla cone. Top with the cheese, guacamole, sour cream or olives, if desired.

Tip:
You can prepare the tortillas through the baking step up to 24 hours ahead of time and store them in an airtight container.
