Fusion Bites and Leftovers


Store bought won ton wrapper don't last very long in the refrigerator, so I have been trying to use them up. I needed to use them, but I REALLY wanted to make some Mexican food. OK, I really wanted to EAT Mexican food.

Mexican Won tons - an explanation, not a recipe, I never keep track of what I put in.

Filling:


Ground turkey burger
Taco Seasoning
Cream Cheese (or a mixture of cheese is yummy, like Parmesan, mozzarella, and Swiss)
Can of green chilies

Mix and place about a tablespoon of the filling onto the won ton wrapper. Wet the ends of the wrapper with water and fold to your liking. Bake in a 375 degree oven until golden brown. Then dip in this yummy sauce:

Chili Tomato Sauce:


Can of Tomato Sauce
Small Dash of Cumin
Dash of Garlic
More Dashes of Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper

Microwave until warm and use with your yummy won tons!

And then Leftovers... I had sauce and taco seasoning left, so I recycled them into this bean dip. Dallin loved it and ate about half of this bean dip during a Conference Session on Sunday.


Bean Dip: (you don't have to use the fat free, but I can assure you that this did not taste fat free!)

1 can of fat free refried beans
8 oz. cream cheese, fat free
taco seasoning (about half the packet)
the rest of the chili tomato sauce (recipe above)
mozzarella cheese, enough to cover the top
sliced green onions

Spread beans on the bottom of a shallow casserole dish (mine was 9x11in). In a separate bowl mix the cream cheese and the taco seasoning together. Then spread this mixture on top of the beans. Pour the chili tomato sauce on top of the cream cheese mixture and then sprinkle with the cheese and the green onions. Bake for 30 mins at 350-375 degrees. I put it under the broiler for a bit at the very end. Serve with chips of your choice.
