These taco cupcakes are easy to make and so delicious! They are a great option to pack for lunch and can be frozen and heated up individually.

  5. Cut Velveeta into 24 equal sized cubes. Place a cube of Velveeta onto each wonton wrapper. Then spoon 1 Tbsp. of the meat and bean mixture into each cup. (Note: On my initial try, I melted the Velveeta before adding it, however it re-solidified so quickly that I chose to not include that in these instructions.) Velveeta and Meat
     
  6. Spoon 1/2 Tbsp. of salsa into each cup. Sprinkle about half the shredded Mexican cheese evenly over the top of each cup. Adding Salsa

These sound great. Could you substitute Doritoes of taco chips for the wonton wrappers?

You could try something like Doritos. I am not sure who much they would set like a muffin. One cool thing about these is once done, they really kept their shape and could have easily been frozen.

Laurel, these sound so yummo! I don't care for the flavor of black beans so think I'll substitute with garbanzo beans or maybe even cannellini. These would be good using ground pork or chicken too!

And thank you for all of the photos for instruction! Wish I had better kitchen lighting and uncrowded counter space or even a dining table to be able to do that :-(
