  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or plant-based crumbles)
• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
• 8 large wonton wrappers or egg roll skins (per cupcake)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• ½ cup diced tomatoes
• ¼ cup sliced black olives
• 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup standard muffin tin or line with foil liners.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water as directed. Cook 2–3 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
  3. Press 4 wonton wrappers into each muffin cup, layering them like a cup (they’ll overlap at the top).
  4. Spoon a small amount of beef mixture into each cup. Top with cheese, tomatoes, olives, and green onions.
  5. Bake 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden and cheese is melted.
  6. Let cool 2 minutes. Carefully remove and serve warm with sour cream or guacamole on top!

Perfect for:

💡 Make ahead: Assemble unbaked and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add 2–3 mins to bake time.
