Description
Handheld, golden-crisp taco cups filled with seasoned beef, melted cheddar, lettuce, and salsa. Perfect for no-mess poolside serving, these Mexican-inspired snacks balance smoky heat with fresh crunch in a mess-free cup shape.
Ingredients
30 pieces (6-inch square) wanton skins
2 lb ground beef
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped lettuce
1 cup salsa
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Lay wanton skins flat on parchment-lined baking sheets and lift each skin to form cup shapes
Season taco beef with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning
Spoon 1 tablespoon beef into each wrapper
Add 1 teaspoon cheddar cheese over the beef
Bake 12-14 minutes until golden brown
Sprinkle remaining cheddar over the cheese layer
Let cups cool slightly before topping with lettuce and salsa
Notes
Substitute spring roll wrappers for thicker texture
Use turkey or plant-based ground meat for low-fat options
Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese work well
Moisten seams with water instead of egg wash for cleaner flavor
Add salsa after baking for fresher taste
