Enchilada Cupcakes

CurveAppeal86 · January 2013

I've adapted these a bit from Emily Bites, but oh my God they were delicious!

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced small or shredded
½ cup enchilada sauce
2 scallions, sliced (plus more for garnish, if desired)
*optional* 1 T diced green chilies, drained
16 wonton wrappers (typically found in the produce section)
4 oz 50% reduced fat Pepper Jack cheese, shredded (I used Cabot brand)

Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly mist 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, enchilada sauce, scallions and chilies if using. Stir to combine until fully mixed.
3. Push a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each of the eight sprayed cups in the muffin tin. Using about half of the chicken mixture, spoon evenly into the wonton wrappers. Sprinkle about half the cheese evenly over the top of each cup. Press another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layering steps with the remaining ingredients.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.

*Changes I've made: I used salsa instead of enchilada, I couldn't find enchilada sauce anywhere I looked. I checked out 3 different stores, nothing. I also spiced the chicken before cooking it with cumin, chili powder, garlic, onion powder and pepper. I used jalapenos instead of green chilies, and used full fat cheese because the reduced fat sucks and doesn't melt.
