These Crunchy Taco Cups are a delightful twist on traditional tacos. They are made with wonton wrappers, creating a crispy and bite-sized taco experience. Perfect for parties or as a fun appetizer!

Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef. 1 packet taco seasoning mix. 1/2 cup water. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 24 wonton wrappers. 1 cup diced tomatoes. 1/2 cup diced red onion. 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper. 1/2 cup sour cream. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 375F 190C and grease a muffin tin. While the pan is on medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until it's done. Get rid of any extra fat. To the cooked beef, add the taco seasoning mix and water. Let it cook on low heat for a few minutes until it gets thicker. Add pepper and salt to taste. Put one wonton wrapper into each muffin tin and gently press it down to make a cup shape. Add a little of the beef mixture to each wonton cup and then sprinkle with cheddar cheese shreds. After the oven is hot, bake the wonton wrappers for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Take the taco cups out of the oven and let them cool a bit before carefully taking them out of the muffin tin. Add diced tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, sour cream, and fresh cilantro to the top of each taco cup. Serve your Crunchy Taco Cups right away and enjoy them!

Beef quesadillas are a quick and tasty Mexican dish that can be eaten for dinner during the week or as a fun starter. These quesadillas are full of seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, and cilantro, which gives them a fresh taste. For a great meal, serve them with sour cream and salsa.

Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef. 1/2 cup diced onion. 1/2 cup diced bell pepper. 1 teaspoon minced garlic. 1 packet taco seasoning mix. 1/4 cup water. 4 large flour tortillas. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. 1/2 cup sour cream. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Salsa for dipping optional.

Instructions: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well combined. Place one flour tortilla in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Spoon a quarter of the beef mixture over the cheese. Place another tortilla on top and press down gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef mixture. Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing each quesadilla into wedges. Serve hot with sour cream and chopped cilantro. You can also serve with salsa for dipping if desired. Enjoy your delicious Beef Quesadillas!
