Say that super fast, 5 times in a row.
I actually tried it and my mouth looked really jank so I stopped.
So, okay, these taco cups? Total last minute decision this week and probably the best one I’ve made since purchasing a bra that actually fits.
Hahaha! Cups, bra… Uhhh, seriously why won’t I backspace!?
a-n-y-w-a-y.
I wanted to give you one more finger food option before the mega-mama-hoopla-gut-busting-flame-throwing-fireworks-acrobats-and-bunnies-out-of-hats-game-day-round-up post tomorrow. So when I saw Adam and Joanne making their little fish taco cup versions I was like, SKIP. TO. MY. LOU.
And obviously any game day without guacamole is a TOTAL LIE.

Just how good football will taste on Sunday.
You’re going to need to gazillionuple this.
Turkey Taco Cups:
What it took for 24 cups:
* 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 red onion, finely diced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 pound ground turkey
* 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
* 4 Tbs. favorite taco seasoning
* 1 pint cherry tomatoes
* 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
* 24 Won Ton wrappers
* 2 avocados
* 1/3 cup freshly chopped cilantro
* juice from 1 lime
* coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350.
Heat oil over medium-high in a skillet. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 more minute.
Add in the ground turkey and cook until browned, 5 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and cook another minute. Add in the black beans and cook 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Lightly coat each won ton wrapper with oil and nestle into a muffin tin.
Stick in the oven for 3 minutes, to start the crisping.
Remove from oven and fill each cup with the turkey mixture and tomatoes. Top with cheese and stick back in the oven for about 8 more minutes, until the cheese melts and the won tons crisp up. Keep an eye on them!
While they’re baking, whip up your quick guacamole. Mash the avocado and then add in the cilantro and a good squirt of lime juice. Season with salt.
Top each turkey cup with a dollop of guacamole and garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Give a nice squeeze of lime over each cup and serve immediately!
They look awesome, Bev!
ps. totally agree about the guacamole thing!

Bite size versions of things make me giddy. These look GREAT!
Cute as a button. Love it.
Ah Bev, you make my sides hurt. Funny lady. Pin pin pin pin pin…and pin!
You and your genius ideas! Can I come to your super bowl party?
Man, you’re hilarious! I read your blogs just for the laughs… The food is just a plus! Ps, can’t wait to try these bad boys out; turkey taco bra cups, here I come!
Yes! Bite-sized makes everything better
These look great…gazillionuple is right…though I still might not share.
Oh man, your muffin tin is 1 million times cleaner than mine. Maybe I should start using it for things like taco cups instead of cupcakes?
These are so fun!
These look so beautiful and easy….love that you made them in muffin tins and were able to pack in all those goodies and veggies in each cup. Taco salad is a fave of mine and yours is AWESOME!
Bite sized food tastes better. And I like feeling like I’m the 50 foot woman when I eat it so its a win-win.
ADORE these!
These look great. I made a couple wonton cup snacks over the last couple weeks as lead in to Super Bowl as well. I could totally see myself eating a bunch of these taco ones. MMMMMMM
You need to shut up. Like, seriously. I discovered your blog and now my laptop doesn’t work anymore cause the drool shorted it out. I need to stop reading this blog.
Oh right. That’s not gonna happen.
You are so awesome. Will you be my best friend?
Wonton wrappers for tacos! Yummm! These look so cute too and perfect sizes to avoid overeating.
You can be an honorary diva with your guacamole quote!!
These look AWESOME!!
Check out my website for “heirloom” avocados, won’t you?!!
looooove won tons wrappers. this is genius, Bev!
Fabulous!! Love this idea.
Oh WOW!! I would DIE for one of these!!
Yummy! I was almost not going to make guacamole for Super Bowl, but you’ve made me regain my sanity. Thank you.
MMMMMMMM BEV!! I love these!! They are the cutest things ever. Perfect for Super Bowl. Or, now.
I have been excited to read this post all day. Seriously, I pulled it up on my computer this morning but was so busy that I did not get to read it until just now. I think that I adore you more and more with each passing day – both for your humor and for your amazingly cute, awesome food. Love!
Bra! Cups! Hahaha!
Love the photo of the taco cups from above. They’re very pretty, and look very munchable.
Great recipe!! One question… do you think you can make it ahead? (everything up until putting it in the over for 8 minutes) I want to make these for my husband to take to his super bowl party but he won’t know how to do anything but stick them in the oven to cook them and top em with guac and garnish.
Totally! You can even skip the part where you crisp the won tons for 3 minutes first. I ADDED that tip last second because I thought it would make the bottoms a tad crispier. But really, make it all ahead and then he can throw them in to bake and add the guac right before serving!
Love this – and I can’t stop thinking about all fo the delicious things you could put in those cups!!
Totally cute! like you and your blog. Love reading every.single.day.
What’s so fun with these is I can leave things out that my daughter doesn’t like for her. I love mine loaded with everything. She doesn’t like onion or tomato or…well pretty much she likes the meat and cheese only. With the individual ones, no problem
Awesome idea! And omg that guac looks sooo good!
This looks fantastic! What a great idea. I’d love to share this with our readers. It looks super fun too.

Won ton wrappers are my new must-have-in-the-fridge item. They are so handy, love this use too!
What side do you brush oil on? Bottom or top?
You can lightly brush both sides!
These look so good! How well do they hold up? I’m going to a potluck tomorrow and it’s about an hour away. Do you think they’ll still be crunchy by the time I get there?
I want to say yes, but I’m just not 100% sure! The upper crust part would be, but I can’t guarantee they bottoms won’t be soft. But let’s be honest, an hour away? Will they even last that long?
