Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 grams Diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard-size muffin tin with cooking spray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
Season the beef mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro until evenly distributed.
Place a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pressing it gently to form a cup shape. Ensure the edges stick up above the rim of the tin.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture into each wonton wrapper. Do not overfill.
Bake the Mexi Beef Bites in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the bites from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
