Cute Little Tacos

How was your New Year's Eve? We didn't make it to midnight, but we did have a few friends over for an evening of cards and appetizers. My Lutheran Stud was in bed before our guests even left. That's how we roll when we have to get up early the next morning. :)

One of the appetizers I made for the evening were these adorable taco cups. Aren't they cute? They're super easy to make too.

I purchase wonton wrappers from a local Asian store for a dollar and some change. These are like taco shells for our purposes. 

Cook up some taco meat or whatever you like in your tacos. We like beans as well as meat.

Fill your taco with your favorite toppings. I used ground beef, refried beans, diced tomatoes, black beans, and cheddar cheese. You can mix it up however you want. Then top your cup with another wonton wrapper and do it all over again.

I like to change things up on the top layer. I just added beans, tomatoes, and cheese.

Bake them in the oven until the wrappers are brown and the cheese is melted.

How delicious does that look? These are perfect for little ones because they are just their size.

These little cups pop out so easily. Load up a pretty tray and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
