Brianne's Taco Cupcakes

Adam and I have learned to really like these little "Cupcakes". I went through a phase where I really enjoyed using wonton wrappers. This recipe kept coming up on Pinterest, so I had to try them. Adam and I adapted the recipe from here. I even made these for Mom and Dad when they were visiting. They liked them, and that's high praise.

Ingredients:

1 lb., ground beef (I use 90%). Note: you could use chicken or Turkey if you'd like
Taco seasoning, to taste
1 can, black beans- rinsed
Wonton wrappers
Salsa
Shredded cheese
Queso
Toppings:
Quacamole
Sour Cream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 def. F. 
2. Brown ground beef. Add taco seasoning and cook according to packet. 
3. Add black beans and warm through.
4. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray and layer in wonton wrappers. 
5. Place a layer of queso at the bottom of the wonton wrapper.
6. Add a spoon full of meat mixture.
7. Add a layer of salsa.
8. Add a layer or shredded cheese.
9. Repeat another layer.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes. 
11. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from tin.
12. Add toppings as you see fit. 

Note: 
  • I always have a ton of left over meat mixture. I free this in portions and reheat when we choose to make this again. 
  • Not only is this easy, but you can adjust the ingredients to be low fat or full fat, depending on your taste buds. 
  • If you only do one layer, so all the wonton is crispy, cut down on the time in the oven.
