Move over, tacos! Taco cupcakes are stealing the spotlight with their perfect balance of savory goodness and bite-sized convenience. Whether you're hosting a casual get-together, planning a game day feast, or simply in the mood for something fun and easy to eat, taco cupcakes deliver on all fronts. These mini wonders take all the classic taco fillings — seasoned ground beef, gooey cheese, zesty salsa, and fresh toppings — and layer them in crispy wonton wrappers that bake up into a mess-free, cupcake-like shape.
With a satisfying crunch on the outside and warm, flavorful layers on the inside, they're impossible to resist. Taco cupcakes are incredibly shareable and endlessly customizable, making them a hit with any crowd. Create a vegetarian version by swapping the ground beef for black beans or seasoned veggies and top them with your favorite taco extras like , jalapeños, or chopped cilantro.
For something extra special, that elevates each bite. In short, taco cupcakes make every occasion feel like a fiesta! How to make taco cupcakes Bring the fiesta to your kitchen with these taco cupcakes. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spraying a muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Brown your seasoned ground beef beforehand, adding in onions, tomatoes, and your favorite spices to pack in even more flavor. Place a wonton wrapper in each muffin cup, pressing down gently to form a shell. Spoon in a bit of the pre-cooked meat (or black beans, if going vegetarian), then a sprinkle of cheese and any fillings you like.
Add a second wonton wrapper on top, pressing it down to hold the fillings in place, then repeat with another round of meat, cheese, and toppings. Once your taco cupcakes are assembled, pop them in the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let them cool slightly, then use a knife to carefully lift each one out of the muffin tin.
Top with fresh favorites like , diced green onions, shredded lettuce, or even a few crunchy tortilla strips for added texture. Serve warm and watch these bite-size beauties disappear! For any leftovers, place them on a cookie sheet, freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. You can reheat them whenever you're ready to enjoy the fiesta again.
