RECOMMEND using a chunky salsa, or lightly drain thinner salsa so it doesn’t make the bottom of the wonton really soggy.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb Ground Sirloin
1 Shallot, diced
1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
3/4 cup Water
3/4 can of Pinto Beans with Jalapeño Peppers (rinsed & drained)
12 Won Ton Wrappers
1/4 cup shredded cheese
4 TBSP Salsa (recommend thick and chunky, or draining thinner salsas)
2 TSP Light Sour Cream


1. Pre-heat the oven to 375F/190C

2. Cook the sirloin (or ground beef) with the diced shallots in a pan on the stove, mincing the beef so there are no large chunks.

3. Drain the beef and onions and rinse under warm water in a colander and return the beef and onions to the pan.

4. Add 3/4 cup of water and the packet of seasoning, and simmer.

5. Lightly spray a 12-cupcake pan with olive oil and line with one sheet of won ton wrapper in each cup. Lightly spray the top of the won tons.

6. Bake the won tons, empty, for approximately 12 minutes - until they are a very light shade of brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest.

7. Heat the pinto beans in a microwavable dish for approximately 60-90 seconds, and mash until mostly smooth.

8. Spoon 1 TBSP of the mashed pinto beans into each won ton, pressing softly to flatten.

9. Spoon 1 TBSP of the seasoned ground beef and shallots into each won ton, pressing softly to flatten.

10. Sprinkle approximately 1 TBSP (1 pinch) of shredded cheese into each won ton and return to the oven until the cheese melts, and remove promptly.

11. Spoon 1 tsp of salsa and then 1/2 tsp of sour cream into each cup and serve immediately.
