Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet 1 ounce taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Toppings of your choice: Shredded lettuce diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, sliced olives, jalapenos, chopped cilantro
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the browned beef. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides to form a cup shape.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned beef mixture into each wonton cup. Then, sprinkle each cup with a layer of shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the taco cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before adding your favorite toppings.
  • Serve and enjoy warm.
