The taco cups were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the ground beef more thoroughly next time.

These taco cups were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.

The taco cups were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy taco seasoning. Next time I'll use a milder seasoning.

The taco cups were a bit difficult to make. The wonton cups were very fragile and broke easily.
