#696: Wonton Tacos

The original recipe called for shredded chicken and filled these with a coleslaw mix, but I had 3 lbs of ground turkey to use up, so I decided to use that instead and make these more Mexican flavored instead of BBQ chicken.  Besides, I definitely prefer ground beef tacos to chicken tacos any day!

These would be a fantastic appetizer.  Regardless, we really, really enjoyed these for our dinner...although for a dinner you could eat a lot of these!  Totally making these again.

Nonstick cooking spray
8 wonton wrappers
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 packet taco seasoning mix
water
Taco toppings: avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, black beans, corn, etc.

Preheat oven to 400°. Spray inside and outside walls of a deep square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Drape wonton wrappers over the pans walls on a diagonal, making triangle-shaped "shells." Bake until crispy (3-4 minutes). Remove pan from oven; cool.

Brown ground beef and onion until no longer pink.  Add taco seasoning and water.  Let simmer for 5 minutes. 
Carefully remove wonton shells from pan; fill each with 1 tablespoon of taco meat. On a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray, lay filled wontons on sides. Spray tops of wonton shells lightly with nonstick cooking spray; bake until warm and crunchy (5 minutes).  Top with desired taco toppings.
