Vegetarian Wonton Taco Cups

Vegetarian Wonton Taco Cups

Recipe yields 20 taco cups. I like to double up my won-ton wrappers for extra crunch and because they hold more toppings that way, so you'll need 40 won-ton wrapper squares for this recipe.

Need a smaller batch? This recipe is crazy easy to size down! Make a little... or a lot!

TASTY TOPPINGS TO TRY - choose your favorites!

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 365 degrees F.
  2. Gently place won-ton squares in a standard nonstick muffin tray spritzed with spray oil. For extra crunch you can also lightly spray the won-ton wrappers themselves with a little oil.
  3. Place tray on the center rack and bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp with golden edges.
  4. While the wontons bake, chop and prep your veggies. Remove the seeds/stem from the peppers and finely chop. Slice your green onion and grate your cheese. Warm up your refried beans (microwave or stovetop) and grab remaining toppings. I like to set out my toppings in little bowls or on a tray for easy assembly. You can even serve toppings in a muffin tin with spoons and allow friends and family to assemble and customize their own cups! 
  5. Once the wonton cups are ready, add a spoonful or two of warm refried beans into each cup and top with fresh or jarred salsa. Next pile on the toppings and serve. They're great warm and also fabulous once cooled to room temperature so set them out and ENJOY!

Recipe Notes

I've listed measurements above to get you started, but you can totally go crazy here and play mad scientist in the kitchen with your dream combo of ingredients. I went with vegetarian ingredients but shredded chicken, ground beef, turkey or chorizo work here too. You can also make them vegan!
