Enchilada Cupcakes
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 12 Wonton Wrappers
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese
- 1 can (10 Oz. Size) Enchilada Sauce
- Optional Toppings: Sour Cream, Salsa, Chopped Cilantro Or Other Favorite Toppings
- 1 cup Plain Yogurt (low Fat)
- 1 bunch Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
- 1 bunch Cilantro, Roughly Chopped
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Once its done, remove from heat and make sure to drain any extra grease.
- Spray a 12-count muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- Press 1 wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin tin.
- Begin layering ingredients: 1 teaspoon cheese, 1 tablespoon ground beef, 2 teaspoons enchilada sauce, 2 teaspoons cheese, 1.5 teaspoons ground beef, 1.5 teaspoons enchilada sauce and top with shredded cheese.
- (I used spoons for the beef and sauce, but just used my fingers for the cheese.
- So these are estimates on how much of each ingredient to use for each layer.
- The main goal is for the last layers to be enchilada sauce then cheese.)
- Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the sides are brown.
- (Mine took 26 minutes!)
- Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of each cup.
- Use a knife or a fork to remove the cupcakes from the muffin tin.
- Top with sour cream, salsa, cilantro or any of your favorite toppings.
- For the yogurt sauce: In a medium-sized bowl combine 1 cup of plain (low fat) yogurt, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- This is a GREAT alternative to sour cream.
- And even when using sour cream, I like to mix the cilantro right into it.
- *You could use any ground meat for this recipe.
- Or even shredded meat!
