Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20) Works well for flavor
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers Store-bought
- 1 packet taco seasoning Follow packet water instructions
- 1 spray cooking spray Or a light brushing of oil
Optional Toppings

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and the water called for on the packet; simmer for about 5 minutes.
Assembly
- Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. Press one wonton wrapper into each cup to form a small cup.
- Spoon the seasoned beef into each wonton cup (approximately 1–2 tablespoons per cup). Top each with shredded cheddar.
