Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Lean ground beef (96% lean)
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning (low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- Olive oil spray
- 0.5 cup Jarred salsa (mild or medium)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the seasoning coats the beef evenly. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the seasoned beef with shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend.
Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
Using your fingertip or a small brush, lightly wet the edges of each wrapper with water. Fold the wrappers diagonally to form a triangle and press along the edges to seal tightly.
Arrange the filled wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot with jarred salsa on the side for dipping.
