“Crispy taco cups made in a muffin tin with seasoned beef, salsa, and melted cheese—an easy recipe perfect for parties or game day. ” — Becky Hardin
Taco cups are a fun, easy way to enjoy classic taco flavors in a crispy, handheld bite. Made with wonton wrappers, seasoned ground beef, salsa, and melted cheddar cheese, these muffin tin taco cups bake up golden and crunchy in about 25 minutes. I love this taco cups recipe because it works just as well for a quick weeknight dinner as it does for parties or game day appetizers, and everyone can add their favorite toppings before serving.
