Black Bean and Corn Wontons
Posted in: Appetizer ideas, Food Photos, Snack Ideas |
This was my Super Bowl treat, to myself. The husband had one, said he liked it and never looked back. How, the heck, does he do that? I thought they were super addictive and the shape made them perfect to scoop up my favorite salsa!
- Spicy Black Beans and Zucchini
- 1 small can (8oz) of corn (drained)
- 48 wonton wrappers (1 package)
- Chili Powder for sprinkling
Preheat the oven to 35o degrees.
Make the Spicy Black Beans and Zucchini according to the recipe adding the can of corn with the beans and salsa.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the bean mixture into the center of a wonton. Dip your finger in a bit of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper (the whole perimeter).
Fold the wrapper diagonal over the filling and pinch the edges tight. Take the two lower corners and pull down to create the wonton. You may want to use a bit more water to help them stay closed.
Lay the wontons on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Brush the tops with a bit of water and sprinkle with chili powder. Bake for about 15 minutes until just turning golden brown.
I had enough bean filling to probably make about 25 more which is ok by me! I’ll be making some quesadillas with the leftovers!

Those look so good…another winner!!!
did i miss something? how did you cook ‘em? boil then pan fry/sautee? or just bake ‘em?
i realize it’s WAY early in the morning…
Umm yea don’t you have esp so you can read my mind? ;~P
LOL it was too late for me! I just added it, you bake them.
oh, my - that sounds SO yummy!!
How many calories does each wonton wraper have without the filling?
Do you eat these as a snack? or meal?
I ate them as a meal on super bowl Sunday. You can do either. For the brand I used they are approx 130 calories for 8, I believe. So about 20 cals each???
Sounds good. I bought some wonton wrappers to make the pizza bites. I am the only one that eats healthy in the house so I only make a serving at a time. Just curious, how long will the wonton wrappers be good refrigerated after opening??
You are taunting me now, aren’t you??? Black beans AND wontons. YUM!!!
Courtney - I’ve had them open for a week or two in the fridge and I also heard you can freeze them. However, I’ve never done it.
These look/sound amazing! I just figured this out to be only 1/2 point per won-ton…all of these ingredients are on my next shopping list. Thank you for posting this one!
Thanks!! I still have some in the fridge so maybe I will make more than one serving and get everyone to try them out.
These look so good. I have wonton wrappers in the refrigerator. I’m gonna have to try these. I don’t have zucchini, so I think I’ll figure out how to improvise. Looks terrific.
YUM! Roni I can’t wait to try these. Do you think eggplant would work instead of the zucchini?
These look awesome! I have to make these this weekend! =P
Roni,
Is the chili powder you use the spicy stuff (from red chilies) or the chili powder you actually used to flavor chili?
Thanks!

It’s just your basic chili powder to season chili. Honestly, I use the cheapo $0.99 stuff. :~P

I made these tonight. They Rock! I love anything spicy. They are super adictive. I served them with turkey burgers that I added green chilies, salsa and a handful of oats. Excellent!
