Does anyone have a recipe for these? I have searched the files and nothing has showed up.

I use the wonton cups from the current season's best then just put taco meat and cheese in and bake. (or you can use tortillas)

Then top with a "taco bar" served of SA pieces. Sour cream, tomatoes, onions, etc.

That sounds like fun. I think I'm going to try this for a party this weekend!

My kids think they're pretty cool!

You can make wonton cups or tortilla's up ahead of time then fill them later. That makes it quicker or feasible for a party if you only have 1 pan.

I think I"mm going to try this tonight. So you just bake the wonton cups in the mini muffin pan and then put all of the fillings in it?? or do you bake it with the meat and cheese??

Bake the cups first. Then you just fill them with warm meat and other fillings as if they are little teeny taco shells.

I like this idea! I think I'll make these for lunch, or maybe dinner.

Thanks!

That is such a great idea! Another "cool" recipe for shows! (no heating up the oven - just bake the cups at home first!)

I think you could also use biscuits for this too. If you are not making them from scratch you could always cut the refrigerated ones to fit the the small muffin pan if you wanted them smaller.

Stupid Question ALERT!STUPID QUESTION ALERT

How do you get the shells/wantons to actually stay in the pan, I have the shaper and understand that part of the concept but don't they just pop back up?

 

[purrbal]

I know my question was stupid but I thought someone might have an answer for me. ???

Ingredients
1/2 pound mild pork sausage
1/2 pound ground chuck
1 (8-oz.) jar taco sauce
1/2 cup (2 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (4.5-oz.) can chopped green chiles
1 (16-oz.) package won ton wrappers
Toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped lettuce


Preparation
1. Crumble sausage and ground beef into a microwave-safe container. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute, and stir. Microwave at HIGH 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, stirring every 60 seconds, or until meat is done and no longer pink. Drain well on paper towels. Stir together sausage mixture, taco sauce, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, and green chiles. Set aside.
2. Press won ton wrappers into 24 lightly greased mini muffin cups. Reserve remaining wrappers for another use.

3. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until wrappers start to brown. Remove muffin pans to wire racks. Fill baked won ton cups evenly with sausage mixture. Return pans to oven, and bake 15 more minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese melts. Serve with desired toppings.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used an 1,100-watt microwave oven and Old El Paso Taco Sauce.


Yield
Makes 24 cups

purrbal: The wontons will fit fine in the mini muffin pan. Once you have played with them for a few seconds, they will not pop back up. They're really fun to do.

I am going to use the southwest seasoning to make the taco meat filling...my question is do I use the recipe on the label (add tomato sauce) or do I just add a little water? I don't want the filling runny as it might make the shells soggy!!

 

[missydivine]

If your filling is too runny, just cook a bit longer and it will thicken up. I made sloppy joes the other day, and I didn't have tomato paste so I just used sauce and just cooked (simmered) it longer.

They sure do try! The trick is in the oil. Oil both sides, but don't over do it or they will rip when you put them in! Oiling both sides also kept them from getting tough.

Can you tell I've had issues?

 

[susan g]

I have never successfully made the wonton cups because they wouldn't stay down! Too bad because the taco cups sound really yummy!

 

[PCSarahjm]

I made these Saturday had 10 guest made 24 had 5 leftover. So they must of been GOOD!!!! I cooked the hamburger in the microcooker added about 1/4 cup of taco sauce and 1 tblspoon southwest seasoning. Filled cups topped with cheese, salsa, sour cream, gaucamole. Huge Hit!!!
