1 lb lean ground beef
04 -
2 tbsp taco seasoning mix

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Lightly coat a standard muffin tin with cooking spray. Place one wonton wrapper in each cup, then layer a second wrapper on top, staggering the points. Press firmly against the walls and bottom to create nests.
02 -
Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10 minutes until the shells are crisp and golden at the edges. Remove and cool slightly.
03 -
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to break it up until fully browned with no pink remaining.
04 -
Reduce heat to low, add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir and simmer for several minutes to blend flavors thoroughly.
05 -
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of seasoned beef into each baked wonton shell to maintain crispness.
06 -
Add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese atop the beef in each cup, allowing it to melt from the residual heat.
07 -
Sprinkle shredded lettuce evenly over each cup, add a dollop of guacamole, followed by sour cream, and finish with a teaspoon of pico de gallo.
08 -
Present the taco bites warm to preserve the crisp texture of the wonton shells and the freshness of toppings.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For maximum crunch, fill the wonton cups immediately before serving. Store baked cups and cooked beef separately to prevent sogginess.
