  • Optional Toppings: Sour Cream, Salsa, Chopped Cilantro Or Other Favorite Toppings
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt (low Fat)
  • 1 bunch Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 bunch Cilantro, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 whole Lime, Juiced
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 F. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    Once its done, remove from heat and make sure to drain any extra grease.
  3. 3
    Spray a 12-count muffin pan with non-stick spray.
  4. 4
    Press 1 wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin tin.
  5. 5
    Begin layering ingredients: 1 teaspoon cheese, 1 tablespoon ground beef, 2 teaspoons enchilada sauce, 2 teaspoons cheese, 1.5 teaspoons ground beef, 1.5 teaspoons enchilada sauce and top with shredded cheese.
  6. 6
    (I used spoons for the beef and sauce, but just used my fingers for the cheese.
  7. 7
    So these are estimates on how much of each ingredient to use for each layer.
  8. 8
    The main goal is for the last layers to be enchilada sauce then cheese.)
  9. 9
    Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the sides are brown.
  10. 10
    (Mine took 26 minutes!)
  11. 11
    Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of each cup.
  12. 12
    Use a knife or a fork to remove the cupcakes from the muffin tin.
  13. 13
    Top with sour cream, salsa, cilantro or any of your favorite toppings.
  14. 14
    For the yogurt sauce: In a medium-sized bowl combine 1 cup of plain (low fat) yogurt, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  15. 15
    This is a GREAT alternative to sour cream.
  16. 16
    And even when using sour cream, I like to mix the cilantro right into it.
  17. 17
    *You could use any ground meat for this recipe.
  18. 18
    Or even shredded meat!
