Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray the wells of a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
Press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, molding it to fit snugly to create the taco cup base.
Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with olive oil and bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly crispy, then remove them from the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, drained diced tomatoes, and black beans. Mix until well-coated and evenly distributed.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup.
Top each cup with a generous sprinkle of shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the taco cups from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes in the tin before carefully lifting them out.
Garnish each taco cup with a small dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro and green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
