Ingredients (Makes 12 cups)

For the Wonton Cups:

• 12 wonton wrappers

• Cooking spray

For the Filling:

• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 6 oz)

• 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

• 2 tbsp chopped green onions

• 2 tsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

• 2 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings:

• Salsa

• Fresh cilantro

• Avocado slices

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the wonton cups: Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, making sure the edges stick out slightly. Lightly spray or brush the wrappers with cooking spray.

3. Bake wrappers: Bake for 6–8 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.

4. Prepare the filling:

   • In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, green onions, taco seasoning, Greek yogurt, and shredded cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

5. Fill the cups: Spoon the chicken mixture into each baked wonton cup, packing it lightly.

6. Bake again: Return the filled cups to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese melts and filling is heated through.

7. Garnish & serve: Top with salsa, cilantro, or avocado if desired. Serve warm.

Q&A Section

Q1: Can I freeze these?
A: Yes! Bake the empty cups, let them cool, then freeze in an airtight container. Fill and bake from frozen when needed.

Q2: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Absolutely! Swap the chicken for extra black beans, corn, or a plant-based protein.

Q3: Can I use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken?
A: Definitely! It’s a great shortcut. Just shred and toss with the other filling ingredients.
