Ingredients

Scale

Wonton Cups

  • 24 wonton wrappers

Filling

  • ½ pound lean ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1½ tablespoons mild taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded fiesta blend cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Toppings

  • ½ cup guacamole
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup pico de gallo

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a regular-size muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking of the wonton wrappers.
  2. Form wonton cups: Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin tin cup, then overlay a second wrapper on top, pressing it firmly against the walls and bottom of the muffin cup. Repeat this process for all cups to form sturdy cups.
  3. Bake wonton cups: Bake the assembled wonton wrappers for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp. The tips may darken more than the base, indicating readiness.
  4. Cook ground beef: While the cups bake, heat a 1½ to 2-quart saucepan or small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ½ pound of lean ground beef and stir continuously, breaking it into small pieces until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  5. Season beef: Lower the heat to low. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, combining well. Let the meat mixture simmer for a few minutes to meld flavors, then remove from heat.
  6. Fill wonton cups: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned taco meat into each baked wonton cup.
  7. Add cheese: Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded fiesta blend cheese evenly over the taco meat in each cup.
  8. Add lettuce: Top the cheese layer with ½ to 1 tablespoon of shredded lettuce for a fresh crunch.
  9. Add guacamole: Spoon 1 to 1½ teaspoons of guacamole over the lettuce layer in each taco bite.
  10. Add sour cream: Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of sour cream in the center on top of the guacamole.
  11. Top with pico de gallo: Finish by spooning 1 to 2 teaspoons of pico de gallo over the sour cream. Serve immediately to enjoy crispy, flavorful taco bites.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover taco bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • Tip for easy removal: To easily remove the wonton cups from the muffin tin, run a knife around the edges before lifting them out gently.
