MEXICAN BEEF AND CHEESE WONTONS WITH SALSA

Category: Hot

Nonstick cooking spray
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 lb lean ground sirloin
1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Colby cheese
2 tbsp chopped green chilies, minced
1 tsp chili powder and ground cumin
30 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup salsa

Preheat oven to 350. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Heat oil in a small skillet. Add beef and cook until meat is browned, breaking up as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Drain meat. Add next 4 ingredients and cook until cheese melts, stirring frequently, about 1 minute.

Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Drop meat mixture by tspfuls onto center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with wet fingers, fold over to cover filling, press down firmly to seam and then gently twist ends to form a firecracker shape.

Transfer filled wrappers to prepared baking sheet and coat surface with cooking spray. Bake until wontons are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve with prepared salsa.
