Inspired by Alton Brown after seeing his wonton-themed show, these are great as appetizers or as a meal. Delicious!

Time 30m

Yield 20 approx. mini burritos, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 lb ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, bison, etc.)
1/3-1/2 small onion, chopped
1/3 small green pepper, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
2 -3 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/3 cup salsa
20 wonton wrappers
2 cups shredded cheese (I like Colby-Jack)
cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Brown ground meat, adding onion, pepper, and garlic about halfway through the browning process.
  • Add taco seasoning, cumin, salsa, and a small amount or water (1/3 cup or less) when meat has browned and allow to simmer over medium heat until mixture is dry.
  • Remove meat from heat.
  • Lay 4-6 wonton wrappers out and place one pinch of cheese and one level spoonful of meat mixture in each wrapper.
  • Use your finger to wet 2 sides of the wrapper and fold into a triangle or rectangle shape (the shape doesn't matter- it's up to you!).
  • DO NOT OVERFILL!
  • Place filled wontons onto greased baking sheet or jelly roll.
  • Repeat filling until out of meat mixture.
  • Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle cheese over top, and replace in oven for additional 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and wontons are crisp on the edges.
  • ENJOY! (I top mine with hot sauce and dip in sour cream and salsa like a nacho).

These mini burritos were a disappointment. They were bland and the tortillas were tough.
