Combine first 3 ingredients. Divide into 24 equal portions. Using a fork, press each portion into a miniature (1 3/4-inch) muffin pan cup to form a shell. Combine sour cream, taco sauce, and crushed tortilla chips; spoon 1 teaspoon mixture into each shell. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake 5 additional minutes. Remove from pans, and serve immediately on a layer of tortilla chips with additional taco sauce. Garnish if desired.
