These Enchilada Wonton Tartlets are a delicious twist on traditional Mexican flavors, combining spicy enchilada sauce with savory shredded chicken and melted cheese.

Customize the filling with your favorite meats, veggies, and cheeses to create a dish that is uniquely your own.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a standard-sized muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
2.	In a medium bowl, mix the cooked chicken with the enchilada sauce, sliced scallions, and diced green chili pepper until well combined.
3.	Line each muffin cup with a single wonton wrapper, pressing the wrapper down to fit the bottom and sides of the cup. Fill each cup with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each cup.
4.	Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the wonton wrappers are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken is a good source of protein and can aid in healthy muscle growth and repair. The green chili peppers used in this recipe contain capsaicin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce inflammation in the body. The reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese provides calcium and some essential vitamins and minerals, but should still be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
