Taco Cupcakes are fun, bite-sized appetizers that deliver all the delicious flavors of a taco in a convenient cupcake form! Layered with seasoned beef, refried beans, and cheese inside crispy wonton wrappers, these mini taco cupcakes are perfect for parties, Taco Tuesday, or any occasion.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning (1 oz)

2/3 cup water

36 wonton wrappers

1 can (16 oz) refried beans

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Optional toppings: sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, diced onions

Instructions

Prepare the Meat:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and water. Simmer until the seasoning is fully absorbed and the meat is well-coated.

Assemble the Taco Cupcakes:

  1. Place a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing it gently to form a cup shape.

  2. Add about 1 tablespoon of refried beans on top of each wonton wrapper, followed by a spoonful of seasoned beef. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef.

  3. Place a second wonton wrapper over the cheese, pressing gently to form another layer. Repeat with refried beans, taco meat, and cheese.

Bake the Cupcakes:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve with Toppings:

  1. Let the taco cupcakes cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, or any other taco toppings you like.

Notes
