Taco Cups with Chicken and Cheese
Description
This recipe for Taco Cups with Chicken and Cheese assembles shredded cooked chicken combined with taco seasoning and salsa as the flavorful filling. The filling is layered between wonton wrappers placed in a muffin tin, topped with shredded cheddar cheese. Baking creates a crispy, golden exterior from the wonton wrappers while warming the filling through.
The cups offer a contrast between the crunchy envelope and the tender, spiced chicken inside, with melted cheddar enhancing the richness. The salsa adds moisture and a mild tanginess. Supporting garnishes like sour cream and green onions provide creaminess and brightness, rounding out the flavor.
These cups are convenient as handheld snacks or appetizers and can be prepared ahead of time. The recipe notes that leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to three days and can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crispness to the wrappers.
