These Taco Cupcakes are a fun and savory twist on traditional tacos, served in crispy wonton wrappers. Filled with seasoned ground beef, black beans, and topped with melted cheddar, they make the perfect bite-sized treat for your next taco night or party!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Line a muffin tin with wonton wrappers, pressing them gently into each cup.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into each wonton cup, filling them to the top.
  • Top each cup with shredded cheddar cheese.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Garnish with sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite taco toppings or add some hot sauce for extra spice.
  • These Taco Cupcakes are best served fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef for a leaner option.
