These were a little too greasy for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of tacos, but these were actually really good! I loved the crispy wonton shells.

I made these last night and they were delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used ground turkey instead of beef. I also added some extra spices to give them a little more flavor.
