Mini Taco Cups That Pack Big Flavor

Mini Taco Cups are the ultimate bite-sized appetizer—crispy, flavorful, and endlessly customizable. Perfect for parties, game days, or holiday get-togethers, these little cups pack all the goodness of tacos into a handheld treat.

They’re easy to assemble and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, whether you fill them with classic beef and cheese or a fun vegetarian twist.

Helpful Tips

• Choose the right tortillas: Small flour tortillas work best because they’re pliable and bake up perfectly crispy.
• Pre-cook your fillings: Make sure proteins like ground beef or chicken are fully cooked before assembling to avoid excess moisture in the cups.
• Customize the toppings bar: Set out a variety of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and diced tomatoes so guests can personalize their cups.

Ingredients

• 12 spring roll or wonton wrappers
• 1/2 pound ground beef or chicken
• 1/2 onion diced
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 small tomato finely diced
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
• 1/2 avocado finely diced
• 2 tablespoons cilantro finely diced
• 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F(175°C).

2. To make the pastry cups, press one wrapper into each of the wells of a mini muffin tin. If using spring roll wrappers, cut the wrapper into 3-4 inch squares and use one square per well. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove the mini cups from the muffin tin.

3. Combine the ground beef and onion in a skillet and cook over medium heat until browned, around 8 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

4. Just before serving, fill each pastry cup with meat, tomato, cheese, avocado and cilantro. Top with a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

If using spring roll wrappers, these are usually around an 8×8″ square that can be cut into 4 pieces, so you will only need 3 spring roll wrappers to make 12 cups.

You can push a square of tin foil into the well to hold the wrapper open.
