Answers:
Make some Taco Boats!.

Get some WonTon Wraps from your local grocery store!. They usually hang in the produce isle near the Tofu!. They come 60 to a package!.

I can make about 48-50 of these with two pounds of ground beef!.

Brown your ground beef ( 1-2 pounds) with chopped sweet onion (large or small)!. Drain and add the dry Ranch Dressing mix (1 pkg!. for 1 lb!. 2 for 2 lbs!.)!. Stir in well!.

While your meat is cooking take the Wonton Wraps and place them individually in a muffin tin to bake and form a small bowl!. Transfer them to a cookie sheet after you finish baking them!.

Spoon in your meat mixture to each bowl and add grated cheddar cheese to the top!. Place them back in the oven to melt the cheese slightly!.

Toppings can range from sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, corn, chopped green onions and salsa of course!.

They are fun to make and more fun to eat!. And believe me they will disappear so don't think you can make to many!
