Mexican Wontons

A wonderful appetizer that everyone will love!  These are super easy and very tasty!  Plus I love the play on chinese food with mexican.

Mexican Wontons

What you'll need:

1 package of wonton wrappers

8 oz. black beans, rinsed

8 oz. or 1 ear corn, cooked and zipped

1 tomato, diced and de-seeded

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

a handful of cilantro, chopped

a handful of cheddar or mexican blend cheese, shredded

1/4 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

What you'll do:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Mix all the ingredients, minus the wrappers, in a medium bowl.  Lay one wrapper on a cutting board.  Place a small amount of mixture on the center of the wrapper.  

Wet your finger in water and run it along one corner of the wrapper.  Fold the corner to the other and press down forming a triangle shape.  Pull the two opposite corners together and seal with water.  Place on a greased cookie sheet and repeat till the sheet is full.

Spray the top of the finished wontons with cooking spray and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden.

Serve warm with your favorite salsa.

What a clever idea! I've definitely never seen wontons used this way before. Can't wait to try them!

Adorable apps! I love that they're baked instead of deep-fried like most wontons, and the mexican spin is so clever.

I made these for a party at my parents house and they were delicious! I made two varieties, one with the above recipe plus a little cream cheese and cayenne pepper. I also made some with pepper jack cheese and chorizo, both were great!
