Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Press one wonton wrapper into each cup of the muffin tin, ensuring the edges are folded to form a cup shape.
Bake the wonton wrappers in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cilantro, green onion, shredded cheddar cheese, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix well to combine.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the black bean and corn mixture into each baked wonton cup.
Optional: Place the filled wonton cups back into the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese starts to melt.
Serve the wonton cups warm or at room temperature. Garnish with additional cilantro or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
