Notes

Notes

It is not necessary to spray the muffin pan with cooking spray or brush the wonton wrappers with oil before baking. If using oil or cooking spray, you may need to reduce the cooking time by a few minutes to prevent over-browning.
 

 

Making ahead of time

If you want to make the baked wonton cups ahead of time, simply par baked them for 5 to 7 minutes, until crispy and lightly golden. Allow to cool before placing them in an air tight container. Store in the pantry or on your countertop. Wonton cups should remain crispy and fresh for several days.
 
When you're ready to fill them, add taco meat and cheese and bake for six minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown. Remove from oven and add other toppings.
