Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package vegan beefy crumbles (such as Plant Boss, Gardein, Beyond Meat, Boca, or Lightlife)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or jarred garlic)
  • 16.5-ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes (drained well, squeeze water out)

Assembly Ingredients

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • ½ cup vegan shredded cheese
  • ½ cup vegan sour cream

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 3 cherry tomatoes (quartered)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the taco cups.
  2. Cook Vegan Crumbles: In a sauté pan, cook the vegan beefy crumbles following the package instructions until fully cooked through.
  3. Add Garlic and Tomatoes: Stir in the minced garlic and the well-drained fire roasted diced tomatoes. Sauté the mixture until all the excess liquid evaporates and the mixture thickens.
  4. Prepare Wonton Cups: Lightly oil a 12-cup cupcake pan. Place two wonton wrappers into each cup, layering so the edges extend up the sides to form cup shapes ready to hold the filling.
  5. Fill and Top: Spoon the cooked vegan meat mixture evenly into each wonton cup and sprinkle vegan shredded cheese on top of each.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers turn golden brown and the vegan cheese melts nicely.
  7. Add Final Toppings and Serve: Remove from oven and place a dollop of vegan sour cream on each cup. Garnish with sliced green onions and quartered cherry tomatoes. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Drain the fire roasted tomatoes thoroughly to avoid soggy wonton cups.
  • You can use any brand of vegan meat crumbles that you prefer or have available.
  • For extra crispiness, ensure the wonton wrappers are well-coated lightly with oil before baking.
  • These taco cups are perfect for parties and can be prepared ahead of time and warmed before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier filling, add chili powder or taco seasoning to the vegan crumbles while cooking.
