Mini Taco Cups!

Hello Everyone!  I have the perfect game day snack for you just in time for the Super Bowl....Mini Taco Cups!  Not only are these absolutely adorable, but they are also delicious and perfect for portion control.


Here's the easy, peasy step-by-step:

Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a large skillet, drain excess fat.  Add 1 taco seasoning packet, 2/3 cup water, 1 can of black beans, and 1 large can of diced green chiles.

Spray a muffin tip with non-stick cooking spray.  Line each muffin tin with 1 gyoza wrapper or wonton wrapper.

Add a little ground beef to the bottom of each gyoza wrapper and top with cheese.

Top the meat mixture with another gyoza wrapper.

Spoon more meat mixture over the top of the second gyoza wrapper and top with cheese.

Bake in the oven at 375* for 20-25 minutes or until the gyoza wrappers turn a golden brown.  Let cool for about 5 minutes.  Carefully remove each taco cup from the muffin tin with a fork and top with your favorite toppings.  SOOOO GOOD!
