Taco Cupcakes

I think @girlwhoateeverything is saying that you are welcome to perform steps 1-4 a day or two ahead of time, and when it comes time to serve to reheat the cupcakes at 375. Be sure to only add additional toppings day-of.

When you say they can be made ahead and reheated, do you mean just assemble them ahead of time and then bake? Or bake them ahead of time too? I'm making these tomorrow. And whatever I can prep tonight , I'd like to do :) Thanks.

Wonton wraps are found in the fresh produce section alot of the time...by the cabbage!

I found mine at Wal-Mart.

Where do i find the wonton wrappers?

I made these for a Movember party and they were a huge hit, every one enjoyed them!

I just made these for a get together tonigt. I used blue corn chips and added corn for crunch. They are amazing. Thanks for the recipe..

Carter2009, instead of soy crumbles maybe you could put in some salsa if you wanted to try a different variety of these!?!?! I think they sound GREAT!!! Can't wait to try them!!! Have to wait for company though....not gonna make them just for myself!!! lol Enjoy, everyone!!!! :)

gwashington1961....... a comment...... Filo does not stick together with butter. It is essential to use real butter to allow the moisture in butter to seperate the sheets in the oven. By adding either bread crumbs sugar, ground nuts, or corn chips (depending on the recipe) in between you allow the air to better seperate the dough and keep it from becoming gooey and heavy. I often, as a retired pastry chef, find this method for quick snacks or deserts very easy. Taco is a new addition to my collection of stuffings. Thank you, girlwhoateeverything

I use filo dough and it is very easy! Melt real butter and add crushed and fine chopped garlic. Paint first layer with butter and add a small amount of crushed corn chips. Repeat 4 more times. Cut into 3 to 3 1/2 inch squares with pizza cutter. Place on cupcake paper out of pan. Stack with ingredients. When assembled place in muffin tin by holding on to paper and stuff to fit in pan. By using cupcake papers I eliminate the mess and do not need to wash pan...also great for serving! I also use salsa in layering.

Hi! Omit the beans if you please!

No one in my household is a fan of the beans, wonder if you could layer it with something else or just cut out the bean step all together?

@Savvychicdiva, Yes they can be made ahead of time and reheated right before.

Perfect right size, just eat 3-4, & some vegetables!

Sounds perfect for an appetizer for a bunco party! Can they be made ahead and reheated right before the party?

Im going to try this with soy crumbles instead of ground beef . We are vegans so no meats or animal byproducts. I'll let u know how they turn out?

@apb please send me the lasagna bitrs recipe asap. have italian get together next tues. would love these!

I'm obsessed with the lasagna cupcakes and cannot wait to try this out!

@chzbnz, it might take a little bit more time to assemble but I think bite sized versions of these would be awesome.

How hard would it be to make these in mini muffin tins? I apparently don't have or lost my regular muffin tin.

Hi Anon - Egg roll wrapper are slightly bigger than wonton wrappers. Cut them into fourths before trying. Enjoy!

This recipe is everything it sounds like - good, flavorful, easy to assemble, and totally delicious to serve the family! I just put all the possible Taco Toppings upon the table, and allowed each person to assemble their Taco Cupcakes to their personal satisfaction! This recipe will be coming out often. The whole family was crazy about the final results. After watching me assemble two of the cupcakes, I was nearly thrown out of the kitchen to allow the rest of the family to make their own versions. It worked out very well. Girlwhoateeverything you truly created a splendid meal. My family called it 'cupcakes' for snacks, but I think they would eat them for B-L-D, & all snacks, too. I do need to agree with you the won ton wrappers work best for their size. I would never boil them for this recipe. Also, I would avoid Phyllo Dough - it's too thin, and requires butter beween the layers. There would be too many layers, trying to create 18 muffin sized 'cupcakes'. You would have that skinny pastry dough, falling apart without the melted butter gluing the sheets together. This recipe goes for quick and easy Mexican Style ingredients. It is written to give us that exact turnout with this delicious finish! YUMMO!!!!!

any idea if eggroll wrappers would turn out good?

any idea if eggroll wrappers would turn out good?

@shawnalton, I'm not sure about phyllo dough. I think it may work but would definitely be a puffier version. I'm curious to see how they turn out...

I love to cook and I'm always looking for something creative and appealing. These look amazing and I am going to try them, but at the moment, I don't have wonton wrappers and was wondering how Fillo dough would work. Any thoughts?

I'm doing Weight Watchers, so I created a lighter version. I love Mexican food and can't wait to try this! Thanks!

I absolutely love this idea, girlwhoateeverything! I'm a gluten-free blogger and just have to create a gluten-free version of this with my whole grain tortilla recipe. I'm thinking of trying it grilled and/or baked. However, not everyone owns mini cast iron skillets. I will definitely link here to give you credit. You rock! Thanks so much!

No. No need to cook them before.

First time making it and it tastes delicious. Was I supposed to cook the wonton wrappers in water FIRST, THEN put them in the muffin pan?

I've been making these for years. They are very tasty and fun. I always called them taco bites.

I'm going to try this recipe on Saturday [next weekend]. It will be a great appetizer - watching Memorial Day Parades on television! Yum! Yum!

these look great! will try them this weekend.
