Beef Taco Cups


Happy Cinco de Mayo! And happy birthday, Dad!

Today I’m celebrating with these cute little beef taco cups.  These would make a great appetizer for a party or you can eat them as an entrée for dinner.

I used wonton wrappers for the shell because they’re easy to work with and they fit perfectly in a muffin tin.  You can typically find the wonton wrappers in the tofu section at your local grocery store. And then I layered refried beans, seasoned beef, and cheese. Yum!

After baking them, I added my favorite toppings – cilantro, onion, tomato, and sour cream! Just like a regular taco, you can customize them any which way you please.

Beef Taco Cups
Yield: Makes about 24 appetizer cups

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 36 wonton wrappers
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

 Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Brown beef in skillet; drain the fat. Add the taco seasoning mix and water, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Place one wonton wrapper in the bottom of each muffin cup.
  4. Layer 1 Tablespoon of refried beans on top of each wonton. Top with 1 Tablespoon of beef and 1 Tablespoon of shredded cheese.
  5. Layer a wonton wrapper on top of the shredded cheese and add another layer of beef and cheese.
  6. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove from tin and top with your favorite taco toppings (i.e. sour cream, diced tomatoes, onion, or cilantro).

  1. Truly Genius hackers exist, my name is Richard Gilman. I'm 43 years old. I was introduced to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST by some members of reddit when i asked a question on how i can improve my credit within a short time frame? We have been trying to buy a house. the market/requirements are insane. I've barely been able to save for just a small down payment. My credit score was around 620. which would allow me financing. I felt so happy when I emailed Pinnacle Credit Specialist to fix my credit scores across the three credit bureaus. They responded in a few minutes and assured me they can fix my credit profile in a few days. After 8 days they contacted me to login my credit profile to confirm their good works. To my greatest surprise my scores are all above 800+ across the three credit bureaus. all negative items cleared, credit card debt all paid off. The most amazing thing is that I was charged after they fixed my credit profile. I really appreciate their service and i want to specially thank the reddit members who recommended PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST TO ME. email: pinnaclecreditspecialist@gmail.com
