Ingredients
- 1 lb. Laura’s Lean 96% ground beef
- 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 (10 oz.) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
- 24 wonton wrappers-I use Nasoya wonton wraps
- 6 Tbsp Tostitos cheese con salsa dip
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large skillet cooked lean ground over medium heat until browned. Drain, if needed. Add taco seasoning and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Coat a regular size 12 cup muffin tin with on stick cooking spray.
- Line each muffin cup with a wonton wrapper.
- Place a tablespoon of meat mixture in each wonton wrapper.
- Place another wonton wrapper over the the top of each taco cup, making sure the edges of the wonton wrapper are slightly off-set from the bottom one.
- Add another tablespoon of meat and top with one tablespoon diced tomatoes and green chiles.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or edges are golden. Be sure to keep your eyes on them-the wonton wrappers can burn easy.
- Remove from oven and top each taco cup with 1/2 tablespoon of Tostitos cheese con salsa dip.
- Place back in the oven for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. .
