If you aren't a fan of sugary baked cupcakes -- and that's okay, some of us aren't -- then these savory taco cupcakes may be a better choice for you. These crunchy tacos conveniently fit all your favorite fiesta toppings into one convenient bite-sized scoop.
The base of these crunchy taco cupcakes is actually a flat wanton noodle wrapper. Squish one of these wanton wrappers into the bottom of the cupcake tin for a crunchy and flaky taste. You can fill these taco cupcakes up with whatever you'd like such as cheese, refried beans, ground meat, tomatoes, peppers and cheese. When these taco cupcakes come out of the oven, top them off with a dollop of sour cream and some red onions. These would make great treats for any summertime party.
