Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Cook the Taco Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease, stir in taco seasoning and water, and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Assemble the Cupcakes: Place a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup. Add a layer of taco meat and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Add a second wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layers.

Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the wonton wrappers are golden and the cheese is melted.
