These oven baked 4-ingredient beef taco cups are exactly the kind of savory little bite that disappears at potlucks. My sister first brought a pan of them to our spring gathering, and they were gone before anyone even touched the salads. They’re essentially a shortcut take on crispy tacos: seasoned ground beef tucked into wonton wrappers, baked until the edges are golden and the cheddar is melted.
Wonton wrappers have long been a favorite in Midwestern kitchens for quick appetizers, and here they stand in for taco shells—giving you maximum crunch with minimal effort.
Freshly baked beef taco cups on a serving platter
Serve these beef taco cups hot right out of the oven with a simple platter of fresh toppings on the side—shredded lettuce, sliced green onions, and jarred salsa all work well without adding to the core ingredient list. They pair nicely with a light slaw, a simple green salad with lime vinaigrette, or a pot of slow-cooked beans.
For a party spread, set them alongside guacamole and tortilla chips, plus a pitcher of margaritas or cold beer. If you’re serving them as a family snack night dinner, round things out with Mexican-style rice or roasted corn.
