Notes
Taco Cupcakes are best served warm. Arrange them on a platter for guests to help themselves. They also go well with extra salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce on the side for those who like some heat. You can make mini Taco Cupcakes using a mini muffin tin, adjusting the cooking time to about 10-12 minutes for appetizers.
