Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
- Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
- Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and a few tablespoons of water if recommended; simmer until the beef is evenly coated and the seasoning is absorbed.
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Place one wonton wrapper into each cup and gently press to form a little shell.
- Spoon the seasoned beef into each wonton cup — about 1 to 2 teaspoons per cup. Top each with a pinch of shredded cheddar.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the wonton edges are crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve with diced tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and salsa as desired.
Notes
Don’t overfill the wonton cups; too much filling makes them soggy. For extra-crispy bottoms, prebake the wontons for 3-4 minutes before filling. Can be assembled and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
