Tasty taco cups are the ultimate appetizer for any occasion. Yummy taco filling layered with melted cheese in crispy wonton wrappers will disappear before your very eyes and have your guests clamoring for more. What’s even better is that they’re super easy to make and just as amazing when made ahead of time and reheated!

If you can make taco meat, you can make these tasty treats. I use these ingredient­s to produce amazing finger foods:

Ground beef: I generally use 93% ground beef. Sometimes, however, I use ground turkey in place of ground beef. The reason is that the ground turkey tends to be more tender than ground beef.

Taco seasoning: You can buy packets of taco seasoning at the grocery store. However, if you’re really concerned about what goes into the taco seasoning, then you should use my own DIY taco seasoning (I’ve put the recipe in the tips below). The results are outstandin­g.

Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies with added water: The taco seasoning produces just the right amount of the various flavors that define tacos. However, the Rotel Tomatoes & Green Chilies take the meat mixture over the top.

Wonton wrappers: Wonton wrappers are a key ingredient in building these tasty taco cups.

Shredded cheddar cheese: You can’t have tacos without cheese, right? Well, the shredded cheddar cheese adds the crowning flavor.

Garnishes: I like to garnish the tasty taco cups with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of sliced green onion tops and diced tomatoes.
