Ingredients
  

For the taco filling
  • 450 g ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 120 ml water
For the cupcake base
  • 24 pieces wonton wrappers
For topping
  • 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • 100 g shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 75 g diced tomatoes
  • 30 g shredded lettuce
  • 30 g sliced black olives
  • 25 g chopped green onions
  • to taste sour cream for garnish
  • to serve salsa

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 190°C and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil.
  2. In a large frying pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat, stir in taco seasoning and water, and cook until thickened. Remove from heat.
  3. Press a wonton wrapper into each section of the muffin tin, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
Assembly
  1. Distribute a spoonful of the seasoned beef into each wonton, then top with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  2. Place a second wonton wrapper over each filled cup. Repeat layering with beef and cheeses.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the wrappers become golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling.
  2. Allow the taco cupcakes to cool briefly in the pan before removing them and arranging on a serving plate.
Serving
  1. Top each with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, and chopped green onions.
  2. Finish with a spoonful of sour cream and salsa before serving.
