12wonton wrappers(find them in the grocery store produce section)
olive oil spray
Taco Wonton filling
8ouncesground beef
2tablespoonstaco seasoning
¼cupchopped onion
2tablespoonswater
1cupcheddar cheese, shredded
1Roma tomato, diced
3green onions (scallions), sliced, green parts only
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Spray muffin pan with cooking oil. Spray the bottom 1/2 of the shot glass (or small glass) with cooking spray.
Lightly spritz the wonton wrapper with olive oil spray. Place the sprayed side evenly over the muffin cup and press inside. Use the shot glass to form the wonton wrapper to the muffin well sides. Do this with the rest of the wonton wrappers.
Bake the wontons for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and crispy, with little bubbles. Remove baked wonton cups from the oven to fill with filling. Leave the oven on because you will be baking the wontons once they are filled.
Seasoned taco filling
While the wontons are baking, prepare your filling. Add the ground beef to a small skillet and brown it. Once it is no longer pink, stir in the diced onions, sprinkle with taco seasoning, add water and stir together.
Use a small spoon to drop about 1 rounded tablespoon of the taco mixture into the baked wonton cups. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
Bake at 350ºF for 8-10 minutes, until the edges of the wonton are golden brown and the cheese topping has melted. Top with diced tomato and green onion before serving.
Air Fryer instructions
To make these in an air fryer, use glass custard cups for the wonton wrappers, instead of a muffin pan. Bake at 325ºF, following the instructions above.
Notes
For a spicy kick, substitute pico de gallo for the chopped tomato.You can find wonton wrappers in the grocery store produce section or next to the tofu. Or, make things really easy and order them from Walmart's online grocery pickup.We recommend using a shot glass or a similar glass when making your wonton cups. It helps your wrappers align with the sides of the muffin cup wells. The wrappers shrink slightly during baking and this ensures there will be a wide enough area for the taco filling in wonton cups.
