Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
- Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Add a spoonful of the seasoned beef and top with a small handful of the cheese mixture.
- Add another wonton wrapper on top of the cheese layer and repeat with another layer of beef and cheese.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the taco cupcakes cool slightly in the pan before removing. Top with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro if desired.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese or add other toppings like jalapeños or diced tomatoes for extra flavor.
