Hey! Keep it down in there! I'm making Wonton Tacos!!

Do you hear that?

SHHHHH!!! For real! Do you hear that?!

You don't? It sounds like a miniature Godzilla is being tortured to death by a bigger Godzilla who is about to be gobbled up by a mother flipping dinosaur all while fighter jets are flying overhead dropping bombs!?!? WTF is that?!?!

Oh....wait...I figured it out...

IT'S MY DAMN STOMACH!!

I didn't realize ones stomach could make noises which rival the sounds of a world war!

So I have to admit it.... I am starting to get HUUUUNGRRYYY!!! I believe the technical term for my current state is called bandster HELL! lol!

Ok, I'm exaggerating a little. it's not that horrible. It doesn't take much to fill me up and i'm definitely staying within my calories. My fullness just doesn't last very long. about 2 hours and the troops start gearing up down there for battle. It's crazy, the oddest sensation like a tugging feeling in my tummy. It's hard to describe.

Now on to the good stuff! I have a couple goodies to share!
First of all my new kicks... I LOVE them and can't wait to break em in! :)



I'm in frikken love with these things!

Lunch 2 oz sliced ham and 1 oz beef brisket... it was delish!


Now for the good stuff!! 

My nifty little Wonton Taco cups :)


Per MFP below each cup is:
190 calories
7g fat
14g protein

Ingredients:
36 wonton wrappers
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 packet taco seasoning (I used McCormick mild 30% less sodium)
1 Can fat free re-fried beans (I used Taco Bell brand)
1 can unseasoned black beans (I used best choice)
2% shredded cheese (I shredded 2 7oz blocks, 1 cheddar 1 colby)
Fixins! (I used onions, tomatoes, fat free sour cream, shredded lettuce, taco sauce)

Now let's put em together!
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Brown turkey-once cooked add taco seasoning and whatever water it calls for. (mine was 3/4 cup)
  • lightly spray a muffin pan
  • Lay 1 wonton wrapper in the bottom of each muffin spot thingy (you can add a dab of taco sauce in there if ya want)
  • Mix together your black beans and re-fried beans in bowl.
  • Drop a dab (I just used a spoonfull) of the bean mixture on top of each wonton wrapper.
1 wrapper and dab of beans





  • Put a pinch of shredded cheese on top
  • Put 1 more wonton wrapper over the beans in each cup.(you can put another dab of taco saurce if you want!)

  • Drop a dab (again I just used a spoonfull) of the taco seasoned meat to each cup.
  • Top it off with a little more cheese.

  • bake for 15 minutes. The edges of the wonton wrappers should be light brown and crispy. 



  • Add fixins and enjoy! :)


 Finished product! Great portion and delish! :)

  6. One more question... how do the wontons hold up like a day later in the fridge? I'm going to try these this weekend when I have more time to mess around with them. Keep adding recipes you try Julie :) and I do love your shoes too.

    1. I ate just one last night but of course topped it with lettuce, black olives, onions and tomatoes. I think 1 1/2 is like the perfect portion for me.

      And yes they hold up really well, i'm actually munchin' on one now at lunch! :)
