In the Spotlight: Cherry Rankin shares her recipe for Mini Wonton Tacos

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Cherry Rankin joined WCTV to share the following recipe for mini wonton tacos:

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:

• 1 lb ground beef or turkey

• 1 packet taco seasoning

• 12 wonton wrappers

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup salsa

• ¼ cup sour cream

• ¼ cup diced tomatoes

• 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

1. Prep the Beef: Preheat your oven to 375°F In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and a bit of water according to the seasoning packet instructions. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

2. Assemble the Wonton Taco: Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Place a wonton wrapper into each cup, pressing it gently to fit the shape of the cup. Spoon a tablespoon of the taco meat into each cup, then top with a bit of salsa and shredded cheese. Place another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layers (meat, salsa, cheese).

3. Bake: Bake the wonton taco in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the taco cupcakes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, and a slice of jalapeño if you like it spicy!
