  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 24 wonton wrappers

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning, and cook according to package instructions. Remove from heat.
