Ingredients
  

1 package (12-16) wonton wrappers

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, with juices)

½ cup diced red onion

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 avocado, diced (for topping)

1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Cooking oil spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Wonton Cups: Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking oil. Press a wonton wrapper into each cavity, gently molding it into the shape of a cup.

      Bake the Wonton Shells: Bake the wonton cups in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

        Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks (about 6-8 minutes).

          Season the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the taco seasoning. If using a store-bought seasoning mix, follow package instructions for water amounts; usually, you’ll need about ¼ cup. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is well coated and any excess moisture has evaporated.

            Combine the Filling Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, and half of the chopped cilantro. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

              Fill the Wonton Cups: Remove the baked wonton cups from the oven. Spoon the chicken mixture generously into each cup, filling them nicely without overflowing.

                Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filled cups. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Top each cup with diced avocado, the remaining cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm as an appetizer or for a fun dinner! Enjoy the crispy texture and delicious flavors in every bite!
