Chicken Verde Wontons

 chicken-verde-wonton-taco-inside
These little tiny tacos were so good!  I used one large chicken breast and it made a whole bunch.  Just a note, only the tops and the edges of the wontons get crispy, not the whole thing.  And I cooked them longer than it said to.  I made guacamole to dip them in.  So good!
Chicken Verde Wonton Tacos
Yield: 8 wonton tacos
Calories per serving: 48 calories per taco; 192 calories for 4 tacos
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces cooked, shredded boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup salsa verde
  • 1 Tablespoon light sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat Mexican blend cheese
  • 8 wonton wrappers (these can be found in the refrigerated produce section by the Asian products)

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl mix the chicken, salsa, sour cream, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and green onions.
  3. Place the wonton wrappers on the baking sheet and place about 1 Tablespoon of the mixture on each wonton.
  4. Divide and sprinkle cheese evenly over the mixture on each wonton.
  5. Bring two of the opposing corners up and using a little water stick them together.
  6. Bake for 4-5 minutes or until wontons get crispy. Be careful because they will burn if you don't watch them.
