Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 24 wonton wrappers

2. Cook the beef
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Add seasoning
   Stir in taco seasoning with a little water (follow packet instructions). Simmer for 3–5 minutes.
4. Layer the cupcakes
   • Place 1 wonton wrapper in each muffin cup
   • Add a spoon of taco meat
   • Sprinkle cheese
   • Add a second wonton wrapper
   • Repeat with more beef + cheese on top
5. Bake
   Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and crispy.
6. Cool slightly
   Let them sit for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
7. Add toppings
   Top with sour cream, salsa, green onions, and any extras you like.

 Tips:

• Don’t overfill—this keeps them crispy, not soggy
• Try adding beans or corn to the beef for extra flavor
• Serve immediately for the best crunch
