Time 30m

Yield 24 taco cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
Twenty-four 3.5-by-3.5-inch square wonton skins
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and grated
1/2 pound ground turkey, preferably dark meat
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Heaping 1/2 cup grated Cheddar
Assorted toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chopped cilantro, for serving

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 taco cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
12 wonton wrappers
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained
2 teaspoons chili powder
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 small avocado, diced
1/3 cup pico de gallo
1/4 cup sour cream
Hot sauce, if desired
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

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.

Tips:

  • Use store-bought wonton wrappers to save time. If you're short on time, you can find wonton wrappers in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
  • Be careful not to overcook the wonton cups. They should be crispy, but not brown.
  • Use a variety of toppings for your taco salad cups. Some popular options include ground beef, chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and sour cream.
  • Get creative with your taco salad cups. You can make them as simple or as elaborate as you like. You can even use them as appetizers or main courses.
