How to Make Wonton Taco Cups

Step 1 – Preheat the oven. While the oven is warming up, get your muffin cups ready and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2 – brown the ground beef breaking it apart until it is no longer pink in a large skillet. Then add the onion and taco seasoning to the ground beef and cook until the onions get soft. Then add the tomatoes and water to the beef.

Step 3 – Add a wonton wrapper to the bottom of each muffin cup in the muffin tin.

Step 4 – Spoon a little bit of the seasoned beef mixture into each cup. I use a small cookie scoop to make this very easy. Then sprinkle each cup with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5 – Place another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the steps with the remaining ingredient so that you end with cheese.

Step 6 – The last step is to bake until golden brown and melty cheese on top. Once out of the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes before you remove from the muffin tin. Add your favorite taco toppings and serve!

Pro Tips

• Removing Taco Cups – To make it easy to remove, run a knife around each muffin and then they should easily slide out. It’s very important to make sure they are cool completely. Don’t rush this step or you may have trouble getting them out or they may lose their shape.
• Mini Muffin Tins – We used a mini muffin pan and it was the perfect size for these wonton wrapper taco cups.
• Preparing Wonton Cups – Also, it’s so helpful to use a pastry shaper tool. It’s not necessary but it makes it so much easier to push down the wontons. I highly recommend one if you don’t already have one.
