So I was apparently obsessed with cupcake-shaped food when I wrote my menu plan this month. I don't know what I was thinking exactly...I think Pinterest may have brainwashed me into it. At any rate, while I'm super happy with what I made, it definitely affected my timeline today a lot...I only have 2 cupcake tins, and 1 oven, so I felt like I was waiting for a lot of the day. Broke my own rule about being conscious of how many items are done in the oven vs. stovetop vs. crockpot. Oh well...reminder noted. :) Anyway, on to my next cupcake-shaped food...taco cups! These turned out looking delicious and got super crispy (haven't gotten to try them yet, but I don't doubt they'll be yummy). Downside: I'm sure it'll lose a decent amount of crispiness upon reheating. However, I was really in the mood for tacos, and decided I didn't care. lol :) Sooooo...I'll let ya know how it all turns out in a couple of weeks. It'd be a cute idea for a party or something...have some salsa, sour cream, lettuce shreds on the side to put on top. The original recipe, on
Plain Chicken called for a can of black beans, which would probably be great if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm not so I skipped it. Here's my version:
Taco Cups
12 Servings, 203 Calories Each
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
2 c. shredded cheddar
1 packet Taco Seasoning
24 wonton wrappers
2/3 c. water
Directions:
Brown ground beef on stovetop. Drain and add taco seasoning and water. Mix and simmer another 5-10 minutes. Spray muffin cups with cooking spray. Line each cup with a wonton wrapper. Add a layer of meat and a layer of cheese. Repeat layers. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and the wrappers are crispy.
I'm having mine with a corn muffin for a total of 373 calories each serving :)
