I love appetizers and my favorite cuisine is Mexican, so when I was trying to come up with a new “secretly diet-friendly” appetizer, I came up with these Mexican style little cups. At 1 Points Plus Value, I can feel like I really did have a treat without falling off the wagon to do it!
Ingredients
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 6 0z. grilled chicken breast strips, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small can (1 1/4 oz.) diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, diced or pressed
  • 2 oz. Snyder’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips, crushed
  • 1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 cup Ortega Taco Sauce
  • 1 oz. 2% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 medium avocado, diced
  • 3 Tbsp. lime juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350º
  2. Saute the onion, pepper, garlic and celery in a nonstick cooking spray until golden brown.
  3. Add the green chilis and saute a little longer.
  4. Add chicken broth and the spices.
  5. Add taco sauce.
  6. As this comes to a boil, add chicken and crushed tortilla chips.
  7. Lower the heat and continue to stir until most of the moisture is absorbed.
  8. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
  9. Spray a mini muffin tin with spray and push a wonton wrapper into each cup.
  10. Spray the wrapers that stick out of the cups with cooking spray.
  11. Mix 1 1/2 ounces of the cheese into the chicken mixture.
  12. Spoon 1 Tbsp of the mixture into each wonton.
  13. Carefully top with the remaining 1/2 ounce of cheese.
  14. Bake at 350º for 12 minutes
  15. While baking, put diced avocado in a plastic storage container with the lime juice, cover and shake lightly. Then remove from the lime juice and put in a dry bowl.
  16. When wonton cups are done (12 minutes), top with diced avocado and serve.
