WONTON TACO CUPS

Steps:

• For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
• In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
• For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.

TEX-MEX TACO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the quick pickled onions: Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Put the jalapeno and red onion in a medium heatsafe bowl and pour the hot vinegar mixture over. Let cool to room temperature. (The onions can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week.)
• For the taco cups: Lightly spray the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray and dust with the chili powder. Fit each tortilla into a cup of a standard muffin pan, pleating the edges and making a space in the center to form a cup. Stagger the tortillas in the muffin pan so they are not bunched together. Bake until crisp and browned on the edges but still pliable in the center, about 8 minutes.
• For the iceberg slaw. Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, garlic powder and lime juice in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the lettuce, carrot, cilantro, scallion and bell pepper and toss to coat the vegetables in the dressing.
• For the taco filling: When ready to serve, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the sausage slices, turning frequently, until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• To serve, divide the sausage among the taco cups. Top with some slaw, pickled onions, Cheddar and avocado. Serve with lime wedges.

EASY TACO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and refried beans; heat through., Unroll each tube of dough into a long rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 12 pieces; press lightly onto bottoms and up sides of 24 ungreased muffin cups. , Fill each muffin cup with a rounded tablespoon of beef mixture; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake 14-16 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Cool taco cups in pans 10 minutes before removing. Serve with toppings as desired.

TACO EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef and onions, and add the taco seasoning.
• Take one egg roll wrapper and add 1/8 of the beef mixture in a line, diagonally from one corner to the other to make rolling the egg roll easier. Top with a 1/2 tbsp of cheese. Roll up like an egg roll. (See egg roll packaging for detailed directions on how to roll your egg rolls).
• Repeat with the rest of the egg roll wrappers.
• Pour egg substitute into shallow bowl and dip all of the egg rolls, coating evenly. Place on cookie sheet that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (very important!).
• Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes or until light brown and crispy.
• Better than deep fried and just as crispy!
• You can add many different fillings: chicken or cabbage and green onions for Chinese egg rolls, etc.
• Note: I find the egg roll wrappers in the produce section, where they have the dressings and foods like tofu and the like.

TACO EGG CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 and spray a muffin tin with Pam.
• Warm the refried beans up a little in the microwave.
• Spread the beans in the middle of each tortilla and as you finish each one, form them into each of the muffin cups (you just need to put a fold in one side!).
• Put one teaspoon of salsa in the bottom of each cup and sprinkle the diced jalapeno among the cups, if using.
• Crack one egg into each cup, then sprinkle with some cheese.
• Bake in the oven until the eggs are set!
