| Yield: | 12 taco cups |
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 12 wonton wrappers
- One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 small avocado, diced
- 1/3 cup pico de gallo
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Hot sauce, if desired
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
- In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
- For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.

For filled wonton cup appetizers, I’ve been pre-baking the wontons empty in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes to make sure the bottom stays crispy. I brush them with butter or oil first.
Fun to make! Plus everyone enjoyed. I made 3 different batches. 1 as written! 1 with ground beef with taco seasoning and 1 with refried beans and gr beef. All had red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and a cilantro leaf. They went super fast!
Any combination you choose will be good. So easy to change up.
I used cooking spray instead of butter.
Watch in oven they cook/brown fast. I served Cholula sauce ( regular and jalapeño along side for those who like a bit more spice.

These are AMAZING! I want to try them with taco meat….or as an Italian appetizer. Thanks, Ree!!
The flavors were great I was disappointed because I think I brushed too much melted butter in the pan. So maybe next time I’ll just try cooking spray or just a touch of butter.
Best use of leftover’s. 2nd time tonight using leftovers from Cinco de Mayo. 1/2 made with beans; other half with taco meat. Everyone loves them.
Fabulous! I made adzuki beans in the Instant Pot with taco seasoning & chicken stock instead of the canned black beans. These will definitely become part of our regular rotation!
Very good! Next time I will try them with a taco meat filling. The recipe is very versatile!
Ree – my family really enjoyed these and have requested that I make again !! I know you were making 12 wonton cups to fill the pan you were sending to your daughter, but I found that the mixture was enough to make 20 – I have a 24 cup pan. Also, I think the butter make the bottoms a little soggy so next time I will just use a little cooking spray. But all in all, a winner !
We love you Ree! Just made these and we are so excited for more of these at home episodes!
