We love taco night in our house. But why do we have to keep tacos just to dinner time or to Tuesday? We don’t! These mini wonton taco cups are ready in under 30 minutes… They’re delicious!

My kids have been asking for new ideas in their lunchboxes, so we came up with these easy mini taco wonton cups. It’s a super-easy and practical recipe, and kids can help prepare it!

Key Ingredients in these mini taco cups made with wontons

  • Lean ground beef
  • ¡Yo Quiero!™ Salsa
  • RealSweet® Vidalia onion
  • Black beans
  • Wonton wrappers
  • ¡Yo Quiero!™ Chunky Guacamole
  • ¡Yo Quiero!™ White Queso
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

What substitutions can you make in these wonton taco cups?

  • Go meatless! Use refried beans or black beans
  • Use ground chicken or ground turkey
  • Top with sour cream

How to store leftover wonton taco cups?

Your delicious wonton taco cups will be good for several days in the refrigerator. Making them excellent for meal-prep and lunchboxes. My kids are always excited when they open their lunchboxes and see these mini tacos.

Nutrition Tip: A serving of lean beef [about 3 ounces] provides 10 essential nutrients, including about half of your Daily Value for protein in around 150 calories.

We added a simple lettuce salad, yogurt with granola, and an apple for a nutritious and filling lunchbox recipe. Be sure to keep the salad dressing in a separate container so that the lettuce doesn’t get soggy by lunch.

If you are having them for dinner, I still recommend serving with a fresh salad topped with your favorite veggies.

This easy recipe will make 24 mini tacos, my kids like to have about 3 in their lunchboxes and if I am serving them for dinner we all seem to have about 3-4 each. Especially since we will have sides to go along with them.
