1
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
2
Lay out 6 wonton wrappers on waxed paper.
-
3
Spray one side with nonstick spray, or brush with extra virgin olive oil.
-
4
Place wrappers oil-side down into the cups of a muffin pan.
-
5
Dont flatten them too much, or they wont form the cup shape to hold the meat mixture.
-
6
Place muffin pan in the oven for about 7 to 10 minutes to get the cups crispy enough to hold the meat.
-
7
Meanwhile, brown up the hamburger, adding the onion and green pepper early to cook through.
-
8
Spice up the meat with salt and pepper if you like.
-
9
I like to sprinkle it with cumin and crushed red pepper flakes as well.
-
10
We like spicy in my house!
-
11
Once the meat is done, drain it to get out as much moisture as you can.
-
12
In a mixing bowl, add the hamburger mixture, and just enough salsa to make the mix moist and add flavor.
-
13
You dont want to overdo it, or the wontons might soak up the moisture.
-
14
If you crisp up the wontons really well, sogginess shouldnt be a problem.
-
15
Once the wontons are crisp, remove from the oven and sprinkle a little shredded cheese in the bottom.
-
16
Turn your oven down to about 350F.
-
17
Add a scoop of hamburger mixture to each cup, then top with more shredded cheese.
-
18
Place the muffin pan back into the oven for a few minutes to warm the meat and melt the cheese on top.
-
19
You can serve these with guacamole, cilantro, and sour cream, but they are a flavorful handful by themselves.

There are endless possibilities for add-on ingredients and spices: shredded chicken and salsa verde, hamburger with a little marinara and mozzerella cheese on top, etc.
