24 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup diced onions optional
1/2 cup diced tomatoes optional

Instructions

Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning with a little water and let it simmer.

Spoon the seasoned ground beef into the baked wonton cups and top with the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake again for another 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Before serving, add any optional toppings like diced onions, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.

Tips to Make Taco Cupcakes

To add a little extra flavor, try using different types of cheese!
Make sure the wonton wrappers are pressed down well so they hold the filling.
Feel free to mix in other toppings like jalapeños or black olives for a spicy kick!
Layer for Texture : Add a bit of cheese between meat layers to get that gooey, cheesy bite in every cupcake.
Let Them Cool Slightly:They’ll firm up and be easier to remove from the muffin tin without falling apart.

Variation

You can make Taco Cupcakes with chicken or turkey instead of beef for a lighter option. You can also make them vegetarian by using beans and veggies!
