Instructions
- Prepping the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Add another wonton wrapper on top, pressing down gently, then add another layer of beef and cheese.
- Baking to Perfection: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden and crispy.
- Garnishing with Toppings: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Top each taco cupcake with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and sliced black olives.
