Best Mini Wonton Taco Cups

Nutrition Tip: A serving of lean beef [about 3 ounces] provides 10 essential nutrients, including about half of your Daily Value for protein in around 150 calories.

We added a simple lettuce salad, yogurt with granola, and an apple for a nutritious and filling lunchbox recipe. Be sure to keep the salad dressing in a separate container so that the lettuce doesn’t get soggy by lunch.

If you are having them for dinner, I still recommend serving with a fresh salad topped with your favorite veggies.
