The ultimate ingredient is the Wonton wrapper! See how they utilize this key element in cooking this dish!

Ingredients To Gather: 

• 1 ½ teaspoons chili oil
• ½ lb lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• ¾ cup canned black beans
• 16 wonton wrappers
• 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of queso dip
• 1 cup chunky salsa
• 1 cup reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese

Directions To Follow:

1. Pre-heat oven to 375. Mist 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray
2. Heat chili oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and taco seasoning and brown beef. Add black beans, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until warm.
3. Push a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each of the eight sprayed cups in the muffin tin. Spoon a teaspoon of queso dip into each wonton wrapper and spread across the bottom. Follow by spooning some of the meat/beans mixture into each cup (using half the mixture) and splitting ½ cup of the salsa evenly into each cup. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the top of each cup. Press another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layering steps with the remaining ingredients.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.
