Mini Tacos

These are also for Tuesday's Cub Scout banquet.  As in the quesadilla recipe,  a lot can be added to "spice" up this recipe.  Salsa, additional picante sauce, sour cream, olives, guacamole... I simplified this recipe so that my kids would eat it.  This recipe is easy to make, as well as easy to get out of the muffin tins.




24 wonton wrappers
1 lb lean ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix (I used the reduced salt mix)
2 tablespoons picante sauce
1/2 cup chunky salsa 
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (I used Taco blend)
Sour cream, sliced olives, optional

• Heat oven to 425 bake.
• Press the wonton wrappers into 24 mini muffin-pan cups.
• Cook the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until well browned.  Stir often to break the meat up.  Pour off any fat.
• Stir in the taco seasoning mix and picante sauce.
• Spoon the beef mixture into the wonton cups.
• Top with Salsa and cheese.
• Bake for 5 minutes, or until  the wontons are golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
• Garnish with sour cream and olives.

Serve immediately with additional salsa
