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
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 0.5 cup Jarred salsa (mild or medium)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the seasoned beef with shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Serve hot with jarred salsa on the side for dipping.
