Ingredients
- Wonton Wrappers
- Cream Cheese, softened
- Fresh Jalapenos, finely diced
- Cooked Ground Beef, crumbled
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Monterey Jack Cheese (optional)
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Green Onions (Scallions), chopped
- Cooking Spray or Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook about 1/2 pound of lean ground beef until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Wash and dry the fresh jalapenos, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Finely dice the jalapeno halves.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cooked ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add chopped green onions and mix until well combined.
- Press one wonton wrapper into each cavity of the prepared muffin tin to create a cup shape.
- Evenly distribute the jalapeno popper filling into each wonton cup, filling generously but leaving a little room at the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool for a minute or two before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions or chives and serve warm.
