Welcome to the kitchen and introduction to the recipe.

Discuss using wonton wrappers instead of traditional taco shells.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Add 1 lb of ground beef to a large fry pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the ground beef until no longer pink, avoiding browning it to prevent dryness.

Sop up excess grease with a paper towel and discard.

Add prepackaged taco seasoning to the beef.

Pour in 2/3 cup of water and mix well, cooking for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat and let cool.

Grease the muffin tin with avocado oil.

Place one wonton wrapper in the bottom of each muffin tin.

Add a tablespoon of the ground beef mixture to each wonton wrapper.

Sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded three cheese Mexican blend on top of the beef.

Repeat the layering with another wonton wrapper, ground beef, and cheese.

Chop tomato, removing the center to reduce wateriness.

Chop purple onion into small pieces.

Roughly chop cilantro.

Slice jalapeño for topping.

Assemble the taco bites and place them in the preheated oven.

Set a timer for 10-15 minutes, checking for golden brown color.

Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.

Transfer taco bites to paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Top each taco bite with guacamole, chopped tomato, purple onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and a dollop of crema or sour cream.
