24 servings servings

Prep time: 30 min

Cook time: 25 min

Ingredients:

• 24 won ton wrappers
• 1/2 lb ground meat (I used elk)
• 1/2 can low fat re-fried beans
• 1/2 package taco seasoning
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese, of your choice (I used Mexican blend)
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• 2. Cook meat in a medium pan until well browned. Add taco seasoning and water. Mix.
• 3. Add re-fried beans to meat and mix well, set aside.
• 4. Take your won ton wrappers and place them into an ungreased mini muffin pan. Fold each wrapper gently so it makes a cup inside each mini muffin cup.
• 5. Place 1/2-1 Tbsp. of meat mixture into the bottom of each won ton wrapper. Top each cup with a pinch of shredded cheese and a small drop of salsa.
• 6. Place in oven and bake on middle rack for approximately 8 minutes or until edges of won tons are golden brown.
• 7. Meanwhile, place 1/2 an avocado into a small zip-lock bag. Use your hand to smash it. Once smashed add sour cream to the bag. Again mix with your hand by smashing. Once it is well mixed, cut a small hole in one of the bottom corners of the bag.
• 8. Squeeze a small dollop of avocado mixture onto each taco cup.
• 9. Next place a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on each taco cup.
