Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup bell pepper diced
  • ⅓ cup corn yellow
  • 1/3-1/2 cup black beans
  • 2-3 oz cheese grated
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 TBSP cilantro or to taste, fresh
chipotle yogurt sauce:
  • 3 TBSP Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp chipotle adobo sauce
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste, a pinch

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prep a muffin tin with mini or standard sized cups by spritzing with oil.
  3. In a bowl, combine bell pepper, corn, black beans, and cheese. Set aside.
  4. Next lay out your won-ton wrappers on a cutting board and season each side with paprika and garlic powder.
  5. Mold each won-ton square to the cups in the muffin tin and fill with your veggies and cheese.
  6. Bake at 350 for 10-14 minutes or until the won-ton cups are crispy and golden and the cheese has melted.
  7. For extra crispy cups, bake the won-tons first at 350 for 8-10 minutes, fill shells with veggies and cheese, then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. While you wait on the oven, whisk together your sauce and chop your cilantro.
  9. Garnish each completed veggie cup with a dizzle of sauce and a sprinkle of cilantro. Dig in!

Notes

  • Use a cheese blend like mozzarella and cheddar for balanced flavor; Pepper Jack or Gouda can also be good substitutes.
  • For a faster sauce, stir chipotle adobo sauce directly into Greek yogurt without blending for easy smoky flavor.
  • Under-bake the wonton cups slightly before freezing them on a tray, then store in containers for convenient reheating later.
  • Double or triple the chipotle yogurt sauce recipe to have extra for dipping or drizzling on other dishes.
