Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for optimal juiciness)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 package (12 oz) wonton wrappers

Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, crumble the meat and cook until browned and fully cooked, approximately 7-10 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and black pepper. If there is excess fat, drain it off and set the meat aside to cool slightly.

    Assemble the Tacos: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a clean, dry surface, layout the wonton wrappers in a single layer. Carefully spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cooked beef mixture into the center of each wrapper. Top each portion with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

      Shape the Tacos: To create the taco shape, fold each wonton wrapper in half to enclose the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Next, pinch the two corners opposite the fold together, forming a taco shape that resembles a small pocket.

        Fry the Tacos: In a large skillet or deep pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, a small piece of wonton wrapper should sizzle when added. Carefully place a few tacos into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, remove the tacos and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

          Bake for Extra Crispiness (Optional): For an additional layer of crunch, transfer the fried wonton tacos onto a baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes.

            Serve: Arrange the Mini Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos attractively on a platter. Provide a selection of toppings for guests to personalize their tacos, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and even sliced jalapeños for those wanting a bit more heat. Enjoy this fun and delicious twist on classic cheeseburgers!
