CHICKEN WONTON TACOS



Chicken Wonton Tacos image

Light and tasty, these make a great appetizer or a quick and easy main dish! Kids love them! Finally a dish that makes use of ground chicken but not so far-fetched. I bake the wonton wrappers to save time and it eliminates most of the fat. Although time-consuming, you can fry wrappers in sesame or olive oil for the extra flaky shells, folded in a triangle for about 1 minute on each side. I loved the ones at Applebee's® and decided to attempt a home version. I was extremely pleased with the healthier version! Top tacos with cilantro, red onion, or sweet onion, if desired. Serve lime wedges on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 taco cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
12 wonton wrappers
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained
2 teaspoons chili powder
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 small avocado, diced
1/3 cup pico de gallo
1/4 cup sour cream
Hot sauce, if desired
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
  • In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
  • For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.
