Equipment
- 12-Tin Muffin Tray
- Large Skillet
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 12 tablespoon cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, with the rack set in the center.
- Brown the meat in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add taco seasoning, ½ cup water, and lower the heat to medium. Cook until all the water is evaporated.
- While the meat is cooking, grease a 12-tin muffin tray and place two wonton wrappers in each cavity.
- Transfer about 3 tablespoons of cooked meat into each cavity, then top with 1 tablespoon cheese and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Carefully remove from the tray, and garnish with any taco-inspired toppings.
Notes
- Drain Fat: Depending on your choice of ground meat, drain any excess fat for a better texture.
- Layer Evenly: Use a consistent amount of taco mixture and cheese in each cup for even baking.
- Watch Bake Time: Keep an eye on them so the edges turn golden brown without overcooking.
- Wonton Tips: Make sure the wrappers are lightly pressed into the muffin tin, and leave the edges pointed upwards.
