Ingredients

Scale

For the taco filling:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or 1 tablespoon homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) water

For the cups:

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese

Optional toppings:

  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole or diced avocado
  • Sliced black olives
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Cook the taco filling:
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
    • Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the taco cups:
    • Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pressing it gently to form a base.
    • Add a spoonful of taco meat into each cup and sprinkle a little cheese on top.
    • Place a second wonton wrapper over the cheese, pressing it down slightly to create a second layer. Repeat with another spoonful of taco meat and top with more cheese.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  5. Add toppings:
    • Remove the taco cups from the muffin tin and let them cool slightly. Add your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, or guacamole.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute ground beef with shredded chicken, pork, or beans for variety.
  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the taco filling or use pepper jack cheese.
  • These taco cups can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for 5–7 minutes.
