Taco "Cupcakes"

Once again, another find from Pinterest...
(I'm willing to bet that most of these recipes will be found on that website)
which took me to http://www.emilybites.com/
which is where I found the recipe for the MUST TRY, "Taco Cupcakes!"

Not only are these Taco Cupcakes fun but they taste amazing too!
(and not to mention an easy clean up when all is said and done)

Here is what you will need:
  • 1 1/2t chili oil (found near the Asian ingredients)
*I could not find this... it probably was right in front of my face but seriously, never found it. So I just used some Olive Oil... and I don't think I really even needed that!
  • 1/2 lb 95% lean ground beef
*We always use ground chicken when it comes to Mexican dishes... No real reason other then the fact that we prefer the taste! Use either or, it will still be tasty!
  • 1 T taco seasoning
  • 3/4 c canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 16 wonton wrappers (found in the produce section)
  • 5 T + 1t of queso dip or salsa con queso
  • 1 c chunky salsa
  • 1 c reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese
  • Guacamole for serving
When looking at these ingredients, you may notice that I have no queso dip...
I apparently thought I only needed Guacamole (which is a garnish to top the taco cupcakes).
So when I realized I needed some sort of cheesy substitute, I searched my pantry/fridge for anything that would work.

This is all I came up with.
Do not judge me.

Although this canned cheese substance has zero healthy ingredients,
the recipe only calls for about a tsp per "cupcake" so with that being said...
I didn't feel completely guilty! ;)

Before we get started I just want to mention that I did not use the recommended measurements on any ingredient. I used a whole pound of ground chicken and the whole pack of taco seasoning and the whole can of beans. (I just saved the leftover meat mixture for taco's) So don't feel like you need to use exactly what is stated in the ingredients list. Just use your best judgment and don't pack 'em too full!

So, let's get started!

  1. First, pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly mist 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. 
  2. Heat chili oil (or Olive oil) in a saute pan or large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and taco seasoning and brown beef, breaking it with a spoon. Add black beans and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until warm.


3. Push a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each of the eight sprayed cups in the  muffin tin. Spoon a teaspoon of queso dip into each wonton wrapper and spread across the bottom.

See, easier then it sounds!


:) cheese.

Follow by spooning some of the meat/beans mixture into each cup (I would say about two teaspoons) and then spooning a teaspoon or so of salsa on top of that. Sprinkle a pinch of the cheese evenly over the top of each cup.


Meat Mixture

Salsa and Cheese

Got it?

Now do it all again, one more time!
Press another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layering steps with the remaining ingredients.

Just press around the edges, as if you are putting on the top of a pie.

This is what it looks like before you pop it into the oven!

4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin


Look at that crunchy, cheesy goodness!

Add a little bit of guacamole (or sour cream if you prefer)

And enjoy!
Seriously, you will SO enjoy these!
(and I have to say, if I would have left that "queso cheese substitute" out... it would not have tasted the same!)

I highly recommend you go out and buy these ingredients and make these this weekend!
Out of all the new recipes we have tried this week, this was our FAVE.

Geh, YUM!

  6. I just made this recipe and I used Campbell's - Healthy Request Condensed Soup Cheddar Cheese instead of the processed cheese that you used above. Just an idea.

  7. PS...where did you find the wontons?

    1. wonton wrappers are found in the produce department near the snow peas and bean sprouts :)

  8. Megab E.S. - that is a good idea! I found them in the produce section... Depending on the store, sometimes they are next to the bagged lettuce!

  9. I found this page through Pinterest too... I CAN NOT WAIT TO TRY THESE and I know the hubby and the boys will love em!

  10. How is this low-carb? Is there a certain brand of the wonton wrappers that is low-carb? What I am seeing is not. Maybe ok for maintenance?

    ReplyDelete

    1. I don't believe I mentioned anything about this recipe being "low-carb," did someone else? Sorry for the confusion.

    2. Do you think the taco cupcakes could be frozen and bake
      just before serving--minus the topping?
      Thanks for your time.

    5. Easy Recipe for Asian Chili Oil
      2 cups olive oil
      4 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes

      Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
      Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.

    6. I tried a couple of different freezing combinations, and here's what worked:
      -Make the cupcakes as directed, including the baking part (just be sure not to over bake - take them out when they're lightly browned.
      -Let cool, then put the individual cupcakes in a freezer bag.
      -To reheat, bake from frozen for 15 min or so at 350* until they are warmed through.

  22. What's a wonton wrapper ? We live in South Africa and I don't know what the equivalent is ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. A wonton wrapper is a thin, almost pasta-like sheet used to make spring rolls and egg rolls in Asian cooking. I'm not sure what you might have in South Africa, but you could substitute Filo dough or even corn or flour tortillas.

  23. I am SO excited that everyone has enjoyed this recipe!! Do you have left over wonton wrappers? If so, tomorrow I will post a recipe for "Breaksfast Cupckes!!"

  31. I found you on pintrest and made the receipe as a dry run today for the superbowl...I'm going to be the star! At my Kroger, they have a "natural foods" section and I found the wonton wrappers in the refrigeraterated compartment there. Look for that section in a store if you can't find them with the produce!

  34. I just made these as well! I cut up the meat from a rotisserie chicken instead of using ground beef or chicken, and I used a can of Rotel instead of salsa. Then, I put the chopped chicken in a skillet with the beans, taco seasoning, and a little water to give it some moisture. I must have filled mine way too full, because there definitely wasn't enough room for a second layer. I topped the first layer with another wonton wrapper and a little bit of cheese, and they look yummy! Another great "Pinterest" recipe!

  42. These sound delicious and easy but in Australia - not sure what cheesy dip to use. Is it just like a cheddar cheese spread? We don't have either examples you gave. Or is it more like cream cheese or something?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh ok, I just googled queso dip. I've never seen it here but I found a recipe for it which was just a cheddar cheese spread, salsa, sour cream, butter and corn flour. Does this sound right? Maybe I'll just use the cheddar spread cos I'm feeding a toddler too so prob best to keep the favour fairly mild. Great recipe thanks! The possibilities with the muffin tray are endless. My mum butters both sides of a slice of bread, presses it into the muffin tin and bakes with fillings like cheesy tuna or bacon and egg etc... Easy and yum!

    1. My understanding of "Queso Dip" is a mixture of any sort of cheese and salsa. Hope you were able to come up with something good :)

  45. My family is raving but the bottom of my cups were not crunchy. Did anyone have this same issue? Did I just not cook long enough? Tops are crunchy. Thoughts?

  46. Has anyone made these in mini muffin tins? I'd really like to try them as an appetizer for the Superbowl, but figured mini tins would go farther.

  55. I tried these tonight for our Super Bowl Party and they turned out AMAZING!!! They were sooo delicious and everyone loved them!!! Mine even turned out exactly like the original pictures... and that never happens!!! My only recommendation is to be sure to put sour cream and guacamole on top before serving... it made it even more wonderful! Also, don't scrimp on the queso! If you try these, you WILL LOVE THEM!!! I don't think it's even possible to mess them up, but I'm pretty sure even if you mess them up, they will still blow your mind! Thank you so much for the recipe... it is our new favorite and I have already shared it with many friends and family!!! :-)

  56. I've made these twice now and they are awesome! But had some issues with the bottom being soft, mushy like, the top was crunchy and I even baked for 10 minutes longer, hoping the bottoms would crisp up. Anyone else having this issue? I even place pan on bottom rack of oven for 5 minutes, but still soft. Anyone have any ideas?

    1. The queso makes the bottoms soggy. It's sorta liquidy which prevents the wonton from crisping. I don't like that kind of cheese...too many additives, so I'll just use cheddar at the bottom.

  104. Making a bunch right now and am planning on freezing most of them. Will let yall know how they turn out after we try them, probably in a few days. I have made these several times before and I have learned if you just use less cheese dip on the bottom layer, the bottom will turn out crispier.

    1. how did they do after being frozen??

      Delete
    2. Forgot to come back here and post! They did great! They definitely don't have as much moisture when reheated, so I will use more queso dip next time I make them to freeze. To reheat, I just put them on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven until they browned. When I made them before freezing, I took them out a little early to ensure they wouldn't get too brown when reheating. I would definitely saying freezing the taco cupcakes is a SUCCESS! :)

  119. Hey I'm mexican! :D It sounds kind of Mexican chilaquiles but in a muffin! I will try this using real tortillas with tomato sauce instead of wontons for a real mexican swap. Empanada shells it's a great idea too. I think chicken is better than beef and we use chicken in chilaquiles
    To make the best guacamole ever, try to add some tomatillos or green tomatoes. The flavor is soooo good!
    You can chop tomatoes, onions and a small chilli in the top too! Sorry for my bad english!

    You can use real tortillas with tomato sauce instead of wontons, for a real mexican swap (Kind of mexican chilaquiles). Chicken is perfect! we use chicken in chilaquiles, and use manchego cheese!. For make a better guacamole, try to add some tomatillos or green tomatoes, makes guacamole delicious! And for the top you can chop tomatoes, onions and a small chilli over the guacamole! I know without the wontons we can't have the muffin-shape but anyway could be a good idea, sorry for my bad english!

  122. I made these tonight and they were very yummy. I did not have queso and do not really like it. I used shredded cheese instead on the bottom and on the top. They turned out great. Thanks for sharing!!
