Ingredients

  • Wonton Wrappers – 24 wrappers, they create the crispy “cupcake” shells; you can find them in the refrigerated section.
  • Ground Beef – 1 lb, lean ground beef works best; it’s the heart of your taco filling, adding flavor and protein.
  • Taco Seasoning – 1 packet (about 1 oz); this makes seasoning quick and adds that familiar taco taste. You can use homemade or store-bought.
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup; adds a cheesy layer to each cupcake that melts perfectly.
  • Diced Tomatoes – 1/2 cup; adds a fresh, juicy topping and pop of color.
  • Green Onions – 1/4 cup, thinly sliced for a subtle onion flavor and garnish.
  • Sour Cream – 1/2 cup, for a creamy topping that complements the taco flavors.
  • Salsa – 1/2 cup; adds moisture and a bit of zing to each bite.
