If you’re planning or attending a Super Bowl party this weekend, and you are looking to make some finger foods (or even food that your kids can help make) then you’ll love these mini taco cups.
You might be familiar with these made with scoop chips, but you can achieve the same result with wonton wrappers. You can adjust the recipe for special dietary restrictions too. Make a gluten free version with baby Romaine lettuce cups; for a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with 2 (14.5 ounce) cans of Vegetarian Refried Beans.
