Taco Bites



Makes 18
-1 lb ground turkey
-1 packet taco seasoning
-2/3 cup of water
-1/2 can corn, drained and rinsed
-1/2 can black beans, drained and rinsed
-1/3 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
-1/2 onion, diced
-2 cups Monterrey jack cheese
-36 wonton wrappers
Add diced Jalapenos to turkey mixture if you desire heat
Topping ideas: salsa, pico de gallo salsa, sour cream, guacamole 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium high flame. Add onion and cook until almost translucent. Add turkey and cook until almost brown. Drain fat. Return turkey to skillet and add water, beans, corn, cilantro and taco seasoning. Cook for about 8 minutes more or until water is absorbed.

Place wonton into greased muffin pan cup. Sprinkle with a large pinch of cheese. Place another wrapper on top. Add meat mixture (make sure to distribute evenly between cups). Sprinkle with another pinch of cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes or until wrappers are golden brown. I top them with 1 tablespoon of pico de gallo salsa and 1 tablespoon of guacamole. Unfortunately I photographed them without their toppings. 

They make not look that great in this photo, but they taste incredible and look fun once topping is added. I used chicken here with fajita taco mix. Either works.
Note to self, take better pictures!
