Tips and Tricks for your Taco Cupcakes
It is time to spice things up during taco night! These taco cupcakes offer you a lot of room for creativity and customization. There are many ways to mix and match flavors and toppings, and they will all turn out to be delicious!
Feel free to get creative and use refried beans instead of black beans or even beans and cheese with no meat. You can use whatever taco filling that satisfies your cravings!
Remember that you can treat these taco cupcakes just as you would an actual taco. You can add some sour cream and a sprinkle of red tomatoes and green onions. Other toppings that are just as yummy are red onions, cilantro, olives, and -of course- avocadoes!
You can even turn this into a “build your own taco” event! Prepare your crunchy cupcake-shaped wonton wrappers and display all the individual toppings. This could be a fun activity that adds more enjoyment to your event. It would also allow people to try any taco topping combination they want or dream of!
Now for eating the taco cupcakes, it might seem a bit challenging. However, you can eat them with your hands or a fork. You can bite right into them as you would for a cupcake, or use a fork to dig into the toppings as if you have a delicious little taco bowl.
