24 wonton wrappers
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 packet taco seasoning
¼ cup water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup sour cream

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a muffin tin and press one wonton wrapper into each cup, folding edges to create bowls. Bake 7–9 minutes until golden.

Spoon beef into crispy wonton cups. Top with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, spray wonton wrappers lightly with oil before baking.
Customize toppings with jalapeños or green onions for added flavor.
