Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Chopped lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Gently press one wonton wrapper into each mini muffin cup, shaping it to form a small cup.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned ground beef mixture into each wonton cup.
Top each cup with a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the taco cups from the muffin tin and let them cool slightly before adding additional toppings.
Top each taco cup with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, a slice of black olive, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
