I would eat tacos and Mexican every day if I could. It is just one of those types of foods I never get sick of. My husband doesn’t feel the same way, but luckily I have some great girlfriends that do and we indulge in chips and queso every chance we get. When my husband is in the mood for a Mexican dish, it is usually tacos. Thanks to one of my Mexi loving gal pals, I got this super easy and super delish mini taco cup recipe to share with y’all. She used it for her girl’s first birthday fiesta but I’m using it for a weeknight dinner and an easy dish to add to your cinco de mayo spread.
Taco Cup Ingredients:
- 1lb ground beef – I use 90/10 and always drain the fat once fully cooked.
- 1 package Taco seasoning
- 1 10oz. can RoTel diced tomatoes and green chiles
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese – I use Mexican cheese blend but you can use any cheese you prefer
- Wonton wrappers
- Cupcake Pan
Make It:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
- Prepare ground beef in large pan, stirring constantly until all pink is gone. Drain fat from pan and put back on stovetop to keep warm.
- Stir in taco seasoning to taste. (The whole package is typically too much for 1lb of beef. I recommend stirring in gradually until you’re happy with the taste.)
- Stir in RoTel tomatoes and chiles to complete the mixture.
- Line each cupcake pan space with one wonton wrapper. Fill cups with one tablespoon of beef mixture then layer on a pinch of cheese. Pack down the first layer and repeat (including wonton wrappers).
- Bake in the oven 10-12 minutes (depending on your oven) or until edges of wonton wrappers are golden brown and cheese is melty.
- Remove from oven. Let cool and serve.
