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.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
