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.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
