These crunchy Beef Taco Cups are a fun twist on taco night, or a delicious party appetizer!

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef ((I like to use 85/15))

1 packet taco seasoning (or 2-3 Tbsp of homemade seasoning)

2/3 cup reduced sodium beef broth (or water)

1/4 cup picante sauce (we use mild or medium)

24 wonton wrappers

1/2 cup refried beans

1 - 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese

pico de gallo (or diced tomatoes)

minced fresh cilantro

avocado cilantro sauce ((recipe below in notes section))

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F and set out a 12 cup muffin pan.

Brown ground beef in a large skillet over MED HIGH heat, crumbling as it cooks, for about 4-5 minutes (or until cooked through), then drain.

Reduce heat to MED. Return beef to skillet and add taco seasoning, stirring to combine. Add broth and picante sauce, stir, then simmer until thick, about 7-10 minutes.

If desired, warm refried beans in the microwave or on the stovetop. This will make the beans a bit more spreadable, but is optional.

Lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, then line with wonton wrappers (2 wrappers in each well, wrappers offset from each other).

Add a dollop of refried beans to the bottom of each cup, then top with some of the meat mixture. Top with a sprinkle of Mexican cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 12-16 minutes, until cheese is melted and wontons are golden brown.

Serve hot, topped with desired toppings.
