Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup salsa
  • Sour cream, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Diced avocado (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
    • Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
    • Add the taco seasoning mix and stir well to coat the chicken. Add a little water (as directed on the taco seasoning packet, usually 2/3 cup) and simmer until the mixture thickens.
    • Stir in the black beans and corn until well combined. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the Wonton Cups:
    • Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Place a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pressing down gently to form a cup.
    • Spoon a little of the chicken mixture into each wonton cup, about halfway full.
    • Add a small spoonful of salsa on top of the chicken mixture.
    • Place another wonton wrapper on top, pressing down gently.
    • Add another layer of chicken mixture, filling each cup to the top.
    • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each cup.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the wonton cups from the muffin tin and place them on a serving plate.
    • Top each cup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and diced avocado, if desired.
