Crunchy Taco Cups are a fun and delicious twist on traditional tacos, perfect for parties, family dinners, or even quick snacks.
These bite-sized delights combine all the classic taco flavors you love, but with a creative presentation that’s both tasty and visually appealing.
Each cup is crafted using crispy wonton wrappers or small tortillas that are shaped into a muffin tin to form a sturdy, crunchy base. Once baked to golden perfection, they are filled with a savory mixture of seasoned ground beef,
chicken, or even plant-based protein, giving you the flexibility to customize them to your preference.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef, browned and drained
- 1 envelope (3 tablespoons) taco seasoning
- 1 (10-oz) can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles, drained
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (or Mexican blend)
- 24 wonton wrappers
Instructions:
To start, you’ll need one pound of ground beef, browned and drained.
And one can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. You can also just use regular petite diced tomatoes if you don’t like spicy.
Stir it all up to combine.
Now generously coat a standard size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. This is where we’re going to assemble our wonton tacos!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Generously coat a standard size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine cooked beef, taco seasoning, and tomatoes in a bowl and stir to combine. Line each cup of prepared muffin tin with a wonton wrapper. Add 1.5 tablespoons taco mixture. Top with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Press down and add another layer of wonton wrapper, taco mixture, and a final layer of cheese.
Bake at 375 for 11-13 minutes until cups are heated through and edges are golden.
Enjoy
