Taco Wontons

March 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 29 Comments

Happy Monday!

It was simply gorgeous this weekend!  I love the warm weather, it was actually so warm I was sweating!  On Sunday I finished pulling my weeds in my vegetable garden and pulled out my mint, which was taking over.  Don’t plant mint in a garden, it really spreads.  I know I’ll be pulling mint out probably for the next couple of years!  My strawberry plants have some berries on them and I saw quite a few lady bugs and worms.  Yah!  Last year was my very first vegetable garden so this is year two.  My soil was pure sand, so I really gave it some love last year and my garden did wonderful!!  All that work paid off because my soil is now perfect.  So all I have to do is add some new compost and I’m ready for spring planting.

I also did what I would say yesterday, I woke up and did 40 minutes of strength training, so glad that I did that.  I feel great!  I also walked to Starbucks instead of driving there, that’s only a mile round trip.  I saved gas and I got some exercise, not to mention had a Trenta ice coffee, with sugar-free vanilla and sugar-free caramel with non-fat milk.  I always ask to put in a shot of milk, so my drink is about 20 calories.  Can’t beat that!!  Now that it’s Sunday night, my legs are a little sore.  I think it was all the squatting I did in the yard.  No pain, no gain.  I’m really trying to be better on exercise and eating!!

On Friday night I made Taco Wontons for dinner.  This is such an easy and great appetizer.  I made tacos, and had leftover meat, so I thought why not.  So glad I did!  I made 15 Taco Wontons and I ate 4 of them and my husband ate the rest.  He said he loved them.  He must have, he gobbled them right up!


I really love working with wonton wrappers.  I get on these kicks on certain products and I can’t stop.  I already have some other ideas that I’m cooking up.  You can stuff these bad boys with anything!

All I did was add 1 teaspoon of ground beef, 1 teaspoon of salsa and a sprinkle of cheese. Then seal up and bake for 15 minutes and serve with greek yogurt and salsa for dipping.  Perfecto!  It doesn’t sound like much ingredients, but it’s enough.  I over did the cheese on a couple and they oozed with cheese, so a sprinkle is perfect.

Taco Wontons

Ingredients:

2 1/2 oz cooked taco ground beef (I used lean 96/4)

1/3 cups salsa (your favorite, I used Trader Joe’s Chunky Salsa)

1 oz (1/4 cup) light Mexican cheese, shredded

15 wonton wrappers

spray butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350, line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a tiny bowl, add some water. This is for sealing the edges of your wontons.

Place 1 tsp. of ground beef into wrapper and top with 1 tsp. salsa and a pinch of cheese, take your finger and dip in water and place along the edges of the wrapper (this will be the glue to seal the wrappers together). Fold wrapper over into triangle place on baking sheet. Do the same for the rest of the wrappers. Spray each wonton with about two sprays of butter.

Bake in over for 15 minutes, until lightly brown.

Serve with greek yogurt and salsa

Makes 15 Taco Wontons

Calories per Taco Wonton:  36,  Fat:  .07,  Cholesterol:  4,  Sodium:  58,  Potassium:  7,  Carbs:  5.3,  Fiber:  .01,  Sugar:  .04,   Protein:  2.3

If you’re looking for an appetizer for a party or a quick meal, you must make these.  You will not be disappointed!  I’m wondering if I could make a batch and freeze them before cooking them?  I bet it would work?  I freeze my wonton wrappers and they are fine.  This would be wonderful for fend for yourself night.

I want to congratulate Erin from Spiffy Cookie for winning the Peanut Butter Lovers Gift Pack.  I also want to thank everyone for entering.  I had fun with this, and I plan on doing another giveaway soon.  I just need to think of something creative.  Oh and I am going to make some cookies, that someone posted.  Once I make them, I’ll post them.  There are so many great recipes, and if you have a Peanut Butter recipe you want to share, the link is still open, so please add it.  You can never have enough peanut butter.

Also, not putting pressure on you, but as some of you know, Peanut Butter and Peppers was nominated by Fitness Magazine for Best Healthy Eating Blog.  I would love it, if you would vote for me.  So far I only have 16 votes.  🙁  If you want to vote, please go here.

Have a great week and I’ll see you, same bat time, same bat channel.  (I’m such a geek)

    It’s taken me a while but I’m really starting to love strength training…and even, sigh, squats. 😛 GO YOU for walking to Starbucks! That’s the kind of active living that I love.

      I actually like strength training so much better than cardio, I feel stronger, but I know cardio burns more fat! But I must do it equally, I shouldn’t favor one over the other.

This weekend I worked on my bar cart and let me tell you that I am loving the orange color and all the carrots and bunnies. So much fun!!

In the bowl on the tiered tray you see wooden carrots, those are from @krumpetshomedecor. They are so cute!! My dogs seem to be obsessed with them when I hung them on my cart, so I had to hide them. I’ll share them in stories today.

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile.

I am loving my Wanted Bunny sign that I got from @12timbers. I love that it’s a neutral color that will go with any style and color. The sign comes in three sizes, and you can choose the coloring of the background and design color.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
