Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground chicken (or shredded rotisserie chicken, breast only)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained well)
  • 1/2 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese

For the Cups:

  • 24 wonton wrappers (2 per cupcake)
  • Cooking spray

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Diced avocado (use sparingly for low points)
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Fat-free Greek yogurt or light sour cream

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Wonton Cups

  1. Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pressing it gently to form the first layer.
  2. Add a second wonton wrapper on top, angled slightly to create a star-shaped cup. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

Step 3: Cook the Filling

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Add the ground chicken and diced onion. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water (to coat the meat evenly).
  4. Mix in the black beans and diced tomatoes, cooking for 2-3 more minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Cupcakes

  1. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture into each wonton cup.
  2. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese over the top of each filled cup.

Step 5: Bake the Cupcakes

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  1. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Carefully remove them from the muffin tin and garnish with optional toppings like cilantro, salsa, or Greek yogurt.

Tips for Success

  1. Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: If using shredded rotisserie chicken, mix it with taco seasoning and a splash of water in the skillet for added flavor.
  2. Crispier Cups: Spray the wontons lightly with cooking spray before baking to ensure they turn golden and crispy.
  3. Meal Prep Friendly: These reheat beautifully in an air fryer or oven, making them perfect for meal prep.
  4. Customize: Swap black beans for corn, add diced jalapeños for spice, or experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack.
  5. Dipping Sauce: Serve with a side of salsa, guacamole, or a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt for dipping.
