CRISPY TACO BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray a mini-muffin pan lightly with vegetable oil.
• Seperate wonton wrappers and place one in each cup of the pan. Using the pampered chef mini tart shaper, press each wonton into the cup, keeping the cup area open. (If you don't have the tart shaper, just press down with your fingers, being careful not to tear the wonton).
• Combine all filling ingredients into a mixing bowl, and blend until smooth.
• Fill the wonton cups with a teaspoon each of the filling mixture.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly brown. Garnish with toppings of your choice.
