# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a regular-size muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Press 1 wonton wrapper into the prepared muffin tin opening. Overlay the second wrapper and press it into the first wrapper. Be sure to press the wrappers against the walls of the cups and the bottoms. Repeat for the remaining muffin cups.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the wrappers are golden brown. Note that the tips of the wonton wrappers may darken more than the bottoms.

While the wontons are baking, add the ground beef to a 1½ to 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir continuously, breaking the beef into small pieces, until fully cooked and no longer pink.

Reduce the heat to low and add the taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes before removing from heat.
06 -
Add 1 tablespoon of taco meat to each baked wonton cup. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese on top, followed by ½-1 tablespoon of shredded lettuce.
07 -
Spoon 1-1½ teaspoons of guacamole over the lettuce. Add a 1 teaspoon dollop of sour cream into the center of the guacamole. Finally, top with 1-2 teaspoons of pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
