Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef, drained
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 (10-oz) can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles, drained
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 24 wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chiles. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Lightly grease a muffin tin and press the wonton wrappers into each muffin cup, forming little cups.
- Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each wonton cup, filling them up.
- Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the taco cups to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa, if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped green onions or fresh cilantro on top after baking.
- If you prefer a spicier version, you can use hot taco seasoning or add some jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- These taco cups can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Simply reheat in the oven before serving.
