Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup ground beef or turkey
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup finely shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought guacamole

Instructions
- Prep the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Arrange the wonton wrappers in a 12-cup muffin pan and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
- Bake for Crispiness: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 5 minutes until the wrappers begin to crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Cook the Filling: In a medium pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add the ground meat and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well before removing from heat.
- Assemble the Cups: Evenly distribute the cooked meat among the crispy wonton cups. Top each with shredded cheese, lettuce, a dollop of guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately for the best crunch and flavor!
Notes
- Swap ground beef with turkey or your favorite plant-based alternative for a different twist.
