*adapted from hungry girl's fiesta bites!
i've said it before & i'll say it again...wonton wrappers are the gateway to a party in your mouth. these little guys are perfect for so many different recipes-ravioli, appetizers, leftovers...
you can find them in the fridge of your local grocery store {at publix, they sit with the pre-chopped veggies, sprouts, etc. & at kroger, they sit in the organic section with tofu & other really weird foods}. their website even provides a ton of recipes so you can get creative with the 40 squares of dough you just brought home.
i made this recipe for my monthly garden club meeting & was surprised at how easy & delicious it was. the mixture below would also be great doubled, rolled into soft taco shells & baked for an enchilada-style casserole. with the superbowl coming up, what a fun, low calorie way to please the crowd!
{fiesta wonton's}
ingredients {in order of use}
*serves 10-12
- 3 tablespoons salsa
- 1 tablespoon fat-free cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon dry taco seasoning mix
- 10 ounces cooked chicken breast, shredded {*see first note}

- 1/4 cup corn, thawed if frozen
- 1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 12 small, square wonton wrappers
*for cooking chicken breast, i prefer to cook in water with a chicken bullion cube. this gives it the best flavor!
1. preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. while preheating, mix all ingredients, through salt & pepper. set aside.
3. spray a small muffin pan with non-stick spray. place a wonton wrapper in each cup of the muffin tin, & press into the bottom & sides. lightly spray wrappers with non-stick spray. bake in the oven for about 4 minutes, or until the corners start to brown. remove muffin tin, set aside to cool & leave oven on.
4. spoon an even mixture, approx. 2 tablespoons, into each wonton. return muffin tin to oven & bake for another 8 minutes, or until hot & bubbly.
*serve with optional toppers: sour cream, tomatoes, salsa, cheese, etc.
