Ingredients
Scale
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (or pico de gallo)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
- Shredded lettuce (optional, for serving)
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Press 1 wonton wrapper into each muffin cup to form a little bowl. Lightly spray the tops.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
- Fill each crispy wonton cup with taco meat, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Return to oven for 2–3 minutes (just until the cheese melts).
