Taco Muffins

 Yummy Taco Muffins. Cheesy taco-y goodness in a muffin form. A favorite around here and a huge hit with kids of all ages!



Yummy!
Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 can black beans
24 won ton wrappers
Approx. 1/2 cup finely shredded cheese of your choice (I use Colby jack)
Taco Seasoning (I use Ortega or make my own)

Directions:


    Prepared pan
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 375.
  2. Brown your ground beef until no longer pink. 
  3. Drain and rinse your black beans in a colander. 
  4. Add the beans to the beef and add the taco seasoning. Do NOT add water to this mix. 
  5. Let the beef, beans, and taco seasoning cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. 
  6. While your beef and bean mixture is cooking, spray your muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Line each muffin spot with one won ton wrapper. 
  8. Using a soup spoon or a cookie dough scoop, place one scoop of the beef and bean mixture in the pan. Top each one with a sprinkle of cheese.

  9. Repeat the layers, making sure the 2nd layer of won ton wrapper is different than the first. The corners   of the 2nd wrapper should cover the exposed part of the muffin tin.

     10. Bake at 375 for 7 to 10 minutes or until the corners of the won ton wrappers start to turn golden. 

Top with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Serve with Mexican style rice and a salad for a well rounded, filling meal.
