INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Heat up olive oil in a large pan over med-high heat. Toss in onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then add your choice of ground meat or veggies. Break up the meat with a spatula while stirring constantly. Add in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Cancun Taco Fest seasoning, black pepper, oregano, dried chili flakes, water, and a pinch of salt to taste. Cook the meat for about 6-7 minutes or until it’s cooked through.
2. Next, take a 12 cup muffin tin and lightly brush it down with oil. Take wonton wrappers and place one in the bottom of each cup. Add a Tbsp of the meat mixture into each cup, and add 1 tsp of cheese. Then, add another wonton wrapper on top of the cheese layer, and repeat the process with the remaining meat and cheese until all the muffin cups are filled up. Each tin will have 2 layers.
3. Bake for around 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted. Once they’re ready, take ‘em out, lightly brush the edges with light oil and top each taco cup with a dollop of Mexican crema and your desired toppings. And that’s it! Enjoy!
