Chicken Wonton Tacos

I love chimichangas! There's something about biting into a crispy, crunchy tortilla and then tasting soft, spicy chicken. The texture, the taste.... those signature Mexican delights are an all-time fav, but ever since I've become a health nut, a chimi no longer looks like pure bliss on a plate... all I see now is grease, fat, carbs and a bloated belly.

Did you know the average restaurant chicken chimi has 1,430 caliories and 90 grams of fat!! That's more fat than you should have in an entire day!

So, after all of the lead in... I offer my solution - Chicken Wonton Tacos. The crunchy wonton shell is flakey and crispy just like a fried chimi, but wonton wrappers have JUST 20 calories. My tacos are baked, not fried and aren't loaded with saturated fat, grease & useless calories. Try this recipe & I'm positive you will love the taste, texture & feeling you have afterward!

CHICKEN WONTON TACOS

What you need:
1LB lean ground chicken
1/s small yellow onion
1/3C salsa of choice
1/4C chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 TBSP chili powder
1TBSP fresh lime juice
sea salt & pepper to taste
20-24 square wonton wrappers

How to: Saute onion in skillet, 5 minutes. Add chicken, salsa, cilantro, seasonings & lime juice. Cook until chicken is done.

Set chicken mix to the side & let cool. Preheat oven to 350.

Lay parchment paper on a cookie sheet & place wonton wrappers on paper. Spoon chicken mix into the middle of wonton (1-2 spoonfuls should fit). Slightly wet fingertips and wipe two of the wrapper corners, fold them in and pinch to close. Repeat with all of the wrappers. When done, spray with cooking spray & place in oven for 10-15 minutes... until golden.

Top with avocado & fresh cilantro.
