These taco cupcakes are great for Super Bowl snacking or a quick and easy meal.

These individual taco “cups” pack a powerful punch of taste!

Easy-to-make Taco Cups

This is an excellent snack for watching the big game and also an easy-to-make dinner on nights you don’t want to fuss.

Using wonton skins for the “cup” make this quick and easy. They taste great reheated too so if you make extra, they also are good for a brown-bag lunch.

Taco Cups

I used Mexican blend cheese, but plain old cheddar or a combo of cheddar and Monterrey jack will do just as well.

They are filling and satisfying and packed with fiber due to the beans.

• Bake a 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and wonton cups begin to get golden brown.
