Taco Cupcakes Recipe
If you are a taco lover, you will definitely want to serve up these taco cupcakes on Taco Tuesday!
- 13 cupcakes
- 2 to 3 cups vanilla frosting
- 24 Nilla Wafers 2 for each cupcake
- Yellow jimmies
- Green frosting I used canned frosting with the leaf tip, similar to Wilton Tip 67
- Red Mini M&Ms
Pipe frosting over cupcake in a circular direction with the star tip working from the outer edge of the cupcake towards the center. Repeat this step for 12 of the cupcakes.
Gently crumble one cupcake into pieces and then set aside.
Place two Nilla Wafers into the top of each cupcake, pressing down into the cupcake at an angle to resemble a taco shell.
Inside the Nilla Wafer "shell", add about 1 teaspoon crumbled cupcake. This will be the meat of your taco.
Over the crumbled cupcake (taco meat), decorate with green icing to create the look of lettuce. Use the leaf tip for this step.
Top the “lettuce” with yellow jimmies (cheesand red Mini M&Ms (tomato).
Then serve up your taco cupcakes to your loved ones!
