Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Delicately press the wonton skins into the mini muffin tin, being sure to make the base of the wonton skin is flat (this will ensure that the taco cup will stand flat when you remove them from the pan). Spray the wontons lightly with nonstick cooking spray and transfer them to the oven to bake until they are golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add in the onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir to combine. Add in the turkey, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Next add in the chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- To assemble, keep the taco cups in the mini muffin tin (this will help with any unstable taco cups). Add a little cheese to each of the taco cups, then top them with the ground turkey mixture. Next add your desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
- Transfer the taco cups to a platter and serve.

STRAWBERRY WONTON CUPS WITH ORANGE MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM

Categories dessert
Time 45m
Yield 24 wonton cups
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- For the wontons: In a large bowl combine the strawberries, orange juice and powdered sugar. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 20 minutes.
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray. To create the wonton cups make a small fold in the center of each wonton and push it into the muffin cup, leaving a cup empty between each wonton. Bake the cups until the edges are golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool the cups while you make the whipped cream.
- For the whipped cream: In a bowl using an electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and orange zest. Whip until the cream has soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
- To assemble the cups: Drain the berries, reserving the macerating liquid. Place a few berry slices in the bottom of each cup. Fill the cup with a tablespoon of whipped cream and top with additional strawberry slices. Drizzle with the reserved berry juices and serve.
Tips:
- For crispy wonton cups, use fresh wonton wrappers and make sure the oil is hot enough before frying.
- To prevent the wonton cups from sticking together, place them on a wire rack to cool.
- Fill the wonton cups with your favorite fillings immediately after frying, while they are still hot and crispy.
- For a healthier version, bake the wonton cups in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Wonton cups can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Wonton cups are a versatile appetizer or snack that can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
