How to Make Taco Cupcakes | Party Favors | Easy Recipe

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: cooked lentils

Ground turkey reduces fat while lentils offer a plant-based option.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat offers more fiber while flour is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brown 2 lbs of ground beef in a hot pan for about 5 and 1/2 minutes, draining excess fat.

Add taco seasoning to the beef, using just enough to flavor the meat.

Dice tomatoes and mix with red wine vinaigrette, chopped cilantro, green onions, and hot sauce to create a topping.

Layer plant-based won wraps in a muffin tin, spraying with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

Press down on the won wraps to form a base.

Add a layer of the seasoned ground beef, about 2 tablespoons per cup.

Add a pinch of shredded cheese on top of the beef.

Optionally sprinkle some green onions on this layer.

Add another layer of won wraps at a different angle, pressing down gently.

Repeat the layering with more seasoned beef and top with more shredded cheese.

Sprinkle cilantro and additional seasoning on top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until the cheese is melted and the wraps are crispy.

Let the taco cupcakes cool for 4 to 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

Top with sour cream, additional hot sauce, and guacamole as desired.
