Muffin Tin Taco Bowls

Taco bowls are a modern classic. While the shape may seem like it’s a complicated process if you have a muffin tin, it’s a snap to whip these up! The diced jalapeños in the tomatoes give a nice amount of heat, but if you want these to be milder stick with regular diced tomatoes and add hot sauce to taste. I prefer egg roll wrappers over wontons as they are thicker and can hold a meal’s worth of taco fillings in one cup. They also have a wonderful amount of crunch to them. If you’re vegetarian you can still make the bowls using this method and fill these with beans, tofu, or whatever you want to put in them! If the wraps tear a little when you shape them, thats totally fine. These will still be incredibly delicious!
