Directions:

Step 1: Preheat Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

  • Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer until thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Cupcakes

  • Layer Wonton Wrappers: Place a wonton wrapper in each muffin cup, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
  • Add Filling: Spoon a tablespoon of seasoned ground beef into each cup, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Repeat Layers: Add another wonton wrapper on top of each cup, gently pressing down. Repeat the layering process with remaining beef and cheese.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until wonton wrappers are golden brown and cheese is melted.

Step 5: Cool and Top

  • Remove cupcakes from oven. Let cool slightly in pan, then transfer to a serving platter.
  • Garnish: Top each taco cupcake with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, and green onions. Add sour cream and salsa to taste.

Valuable Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions for optimal flavor.
  • Pre-cook Wonton Wrappers: Pre-bake wonton wrappers for crispiness.
  • Customize Fillings: Add beans, corn, or jalapeños for variety.
