Fully Loaded Taco Bites {Recipe}
This week we celebrated the miracle of my dear friend Sarah Nitta’s upcoming baby boom. If you want to know more about this amazing girl, check out her blog here. For this shin dig masterminded by fabulous duo Kristin & Heather, I was asked to fill a platter with something delicious. After a bunch of pinterest and google trolling, I found the basic recipe for these tasty appetizers. With a few tweaks and some yummy additions of my own, I ended up with these Fully Loaded Taco Bites.

Fully Loaded Taco Bites
1 pkg Won Ton wrappers (in the produce section)
1 lb ground turkey
Taco Seasoning packet
1 can black beans, drained, rinsed and roughly chopped
3/4 cup shredded cheese
Toppings of your choice. I used:
Finely shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced green onions, sour cream and sliced olives.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With cooking spray, coat a nonstick muffin tin. Gently press one wrapper into each muffin cup.
Brown ground turkey. Add seasoning packet and cook as directed.
Stir chopped black beans into seasoned turkey. Using a Tablespoon, fill won ton wrappers with one scoop each and sprinkle lightly with cheese.
Bake in oven for 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
Serve while warm or cold. They’re delish either way!
Makes approx. 42 Taco Bites.

christene..these look so delish. i’m adding them to my menu next week.:)
Kiki! So fun to see you come by. I hope you are doing well and snuggling a happy new baby by now! These are simply delicious. They’ll be a fun addition to your menu this week.
These are too cute! My kids would LOVE these. I think I will make them for a fun dinner on their first day back to school! Thanks for sharing!
These look so good, I’m going to make them for my card club and for my family too.
These are fabulous, I will be making these instead of Tacos on Taco Tuesdays. What a fun twist! One question though, do the wrappers get crunchy?
Thanks! The wrappers do get crunchy, especially on the edges. They are slightly chewy in the cup portion. These are lots of fun for little people and can be personalized to your every whim. Enjoy!
Looks yummy. Do you think Phyllo Cups would work?
I haven’t used Phyllo cups much, but I imagine they would. They might be flakier and crunchier – totally worth trying out!
I recently went to a party and they were serving chicken and carne asada tacos no seasoning. I believe it’s a new venture ( have a taco truck at your kids party) anyway my daughters wanted to know if they could hire this person for September. I told them I’d think about it, i got her card and called her she’s $1,000.00, so I told my oldest daughter she replied ” mommy check out these cute little tacos, you could do theses then just chicken and carne asada and I bet you could do it all for $450.00 keeping all your receipts for everything you could really do it mommy”
I love your daughters! Thinking outside the box is amazing. These were so quick and easy, your versatile ideas would be perfect for them. I hope you give it a whirl and let me know how they turn out!
Hey! I’m taking them to Bunko tonight – I’ll be taking copies of the recipe, no doubt the ladies will want one : ) Glad to have found you on Pinterest. I’m having so much fun with all the new recipes to try! Thank you for sharing!
How neat! I hope they were a hit with your Bunco crew!
did you use the regular muffin tin or the mini muffin tin? they
look wonderful and i can’t wait to make them for book club..
Marty, I did use the regular sized muffin tins. These are so easy and fun I hope you enjoy them with your book club. Happy reading!
Fully loaded or not, I know they would not last long at my house. Lots of football to watch this weekend, looks to be a good appetizer for pre-game.
Hope you enjoyed these with your game, Greg!
This was a MASSIVE hit at my Christmas Party!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Do you have to bake them in a muffin tin? Or would a regular pan work too?
Jenni, I’ve never tried them in a regular pan. The muffin cup gives your wonton wrapper the shape you need. Without it, they would lie flat and not hold your taco goodies. Thanks for the question!
Hey there! I’ve been reading your website for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for the shout out! Sending a Merry Christmas to Porter, TX!
These were fantastic!!!
Thanks Chelsea! Glad you enjoyed them!
Yum! Love small bites. Thanks for the tasty idea.
I wonder how easy these would be to freeze? I don’t think my family of four could eat 42 of them in one sitting!
Val, I haven’t ever frozen this type of dough…give it a try and see how it works out. It makes sense that it would freeze well as do other pie type of shells. Let me know how it turns out. These are so fun and delish!
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up
and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not
sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.
Thanks Moses! I checked all my images and links and they are loading for me. I do need to do some updates though, so thanks for the heads up!
Have you ever considered about including a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean,
what you say is valuable and all. However imagine
if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
website could undeniably be one of the best
in its niche. Great blog!
Great recipe! Do you use mini muffin Tina or regular sized? Also, can these be prepared a day ahead? Thanks!
Hi Amber! I used regular sized muffin tins. You might be able to prep these and put them in the fridge in the tins, but I don’t know how they’d do being made ahead. I worry about soggy bottoms. They’re best served day of in my experience.
After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now
each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same
comment. There has to be an easy method you can remove
me from that service? Thanks!
