Mini Wonton Taco Bites Appetizer
These bite-sized wonton taco cups are the perfect football game or taco night appetizer! The layered seasoned ground beef (or ground turkey) and cheese are the perfect base for the traditional, fresh, favorite taco toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, sour cream, and salsa!
Ingredients:
Olive oil
1 pound extra lean ground beef or turkey
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 packet of Taco Bell taco seasoning
½ of a 14 ounce can petite diced tomatoes drained
24 wonton wrappers
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1 cup finely shredded iceberg lettuce
1 avocado, very finely diced
cilantro, finely chopped
white onion, finely chopped
fresh salsa
cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat a little olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add the beef (or turkey) and onion to the pan. Using a spatula, break up the meat into fine pieces, stirring constantly. Once lightly browned, add the taco seasoning to taste.
3. Cook the meat for 2-3 more minutes or until finished and thoroughly mixed. Stir in ½ can of petite diced tomatoes. (set aside)
4. Coat the muffin tin with cooking spray. Place one wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin cup. The sides will crinkle up when you push the wonton in to create a small “cup”.
5. Bake for 5 minutes to start the cooking process of the wonton.
6. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of meat into each cup and top with 1 - 2 teaspoons of cheese.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until edges are browned and cheese is melted.
8. Top each taco cup with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of other finely diced condiments (or put them out for people to choose their own toppings)! Enjoy! Bite-sized mini taco bites
9. Best served with a fresh lime margatini! (recipe to follow)!
