Instructions:
- Prepare the taco meat:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning, water, and salsa to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the taco cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup, pressing it down gently to form a cup shape.
- Add a layer of shredded cheese to the bottom of each wonton cup.
- Add a spoonful of taco meat on top of the cheese.
- Add a layer of black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes on top of the meat.
- Add another wonton wrapper on top, pressing down gently.
- Repeat the layers: cheese, meat, beans, corn, and tomatoes.
- Top each cup with a final layer of shredded cheese and a few black olive slices (if using).
- Bake the cupcakes:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
- Serve:
- Top the taco cupcakes with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, cilantro, diced avocado or guacamole, salsa or pico de gallo, and jalapeño slices if you like a bit of heat.
