Happy Cinco de Mayo! And happy birthday, Dad!
Today I’m celebrating with these cute little beef taco cups. These would make a great appetizer for a party or you can eat them as an entrée for dinner.
I used wonton wrappers for the shell because they’re easy to work with and they fit perfectly in a muffin tin. You can typically find the wonton wrappers in the tofu section at your local grocery store. And then I layered refried beans, seasoned beef, and cheese. Yum!
After baking them, I added my favorite toppings – cilantro, onion, tomato, and sour cream! Just like a regular taco, you can customize them any which way you please.
