Easy Taco Cups
Ingredients
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20) – or turkey/chicken/veggie crumbles
-
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade mix)
-
¼ cup water
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
24 wonton wrappers
-
Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro
Instructions
-
Prep Cups: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Press wonton wrappers into cups. Par-bake 5 min.
-
Cook Beef: Brown beef in a skillet. Drain fat. Stir in taco seasoning + ¼ cup water. Simmer 3–5 min. Let cool slightly.
-
Assemble: Spoon beef into par-baked wonton cups. Top with cheddar cheese.
-
Bake Again: Return to oven 8–10 min, until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
-
Serve: Cool 5 min before removing. Add toppings and enjoy!
Notes
-
Don’t skip the par-bake step — it keeps bottoms crisp.
-
Drain beef well to avoid soggy cups.
-
For make-ahead: assemble up to the second bake, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hrs.
