Steps:
- For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
- In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
- For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Delicately press the wonton skins into the mini muffin tin, being sure to make the base of the wonton skin is flat (this will ensure that the taco cup will stand flat when you remove them from the pan). Spray the wontons lightly with nonstick cooking spray and transfer them to the oven to bake until they are golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add in the onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir to combine. Add in the turkey, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Next add in the chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- To assemble, keep the taco cups in the mini muffin tin (this will help with any unstable taco cups). Add a little cheese to each of the taco cups, then top them with the ground turkey mixture. Next add your desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
- Transfer the taco cups to a platter and serve.
Tips:
- Use a variety of fillings: The best taco cups are filled with a variety of ingredients, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular fillings include ground beef, chicken, pork, beans, rice, and vegetables.
- Season your fillings well: Don't forget to season your fillings before you add them to the taco cups. This will help to give them flavor and depth.
- Use a variety of toppings: Toppings are what really make taco cups special. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and onions.
- Bake the taco cups until they are golden brown: This will help to give them a crispy texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the taco cups immediately: Taco cups are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to ensure that they are crispy and delicious.
