I do! I just saw this recipe posted on facebook (through wholly guacamole) and it sounds delicious. It also sounds easy to adapt to specific tastes/dietary restrictions. Enjoy! http://www.emilybites.com/2011/08/taco-cupcakes.html

    I don't eat meat but I could easily take that out of the recipe and I bet it would still be tasty! :D

    I have used crumbled extra firm tofu in taco seasoning before. Maybe that would sub?

    I don't think putting words "taco" and "cupcake" together sounds very appetizing.

    Nah, I don't either, but I think it's a creative spin on the ole meatloaf muffin thing.

    I was going to use soy crumbles for the meat part of the recipe. I've used them with taco seasoning before and they are great!

    I just veganized it and I know my kids will love this! Here it is:

    TACO CUPCAKES

    Ingredients:

    1 ½ t chili oil
    1 can black beans
    1 T taco seasoning
    1 can refried beans
    16 wonton wrappers
    1 c chunky salsa
    1 c Raw Cashew Cheeze (Daiya cheese optional)
    Directions:

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly mist 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
    2. Heat chili oil in a sauté pan or large skillet over medium-high heat; add the black beans and taco seasoning, breaking it up with a spoon. Continue to cook for a few minutes until warm.
    3. Push a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each of the eight sprayed cups in the muffin tin. Spoon a teaspoon of cashew cheeze into each wonton wrapper and spread across the bottom. Follow by spooning refried beans and black bean mixture into each cup (using about half the total mixture) and then splitting ½ cup of the salsa evenly into each cup. Press another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layering steps with the remaining ingredients.
    4. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.

    Yields 8 taco cupcakes
