Fee. Ess. Ta.

IMG_5555Blog

The word fiesta is overused in the Mexican food world (by me all the time) so I feel like it doesn’t have much weight here.

BUT THIS WAS A FIESTA!

IMG_5549Blog

Hillary came over tonight because we wanted to watch LOST she had a new recipe to try. She had these wontons filled with a festive mixture last weekend and looked up the recipe. Coincidentally MamaPea made a very similar dish today!

Hillary’s version was super easy.

She started with Nasoya wontons and put them in mini muffin cups

IMG_5541Blog

Then we made a mixture of a can of black beans, about 4 ounces of grated cheddar, 1/2 a can of corn, a whole chopped tomato, a whole de-seeded and chopped jalapeno and some Southwestern spice seasoning. All mixed up.

IMG_5545Blog

Then we filled the cups –

IMG_5542Blog

And baked at 400* for 9 minutes. No more, no less!

IMG_5543Blog

SOOOO delicious!

IMG_5554Blog

So fun to eat!

IMG_5551Blog

Especially when I topped each one with a little guac and greek yogurt! Gah those garnishes make everything right.

IMG_5556Blog

We had roasted sweet potatoes on the side (400* for about 20 minutes tossed in olive oil, cinnamon, salt and cayenne)

IMG_5550Blog

And an array of salsas and chips – if we were still hungry! [We were – just a little]

IMG_5548Blog

IMG_5546Blog

After 2 episodes of LOST (Matt got home just in time!), Hillary brought out a papaya (themed appropriately for the tropical series!) and I brought out my neglected Cacao Bliss chocolate coconut butter and we had an amazing dessert!

IMG_5560Blog

Hillary tossed the papaya in lime juice first. I had never had it at home, and boy was this good! Very refreshing and pretty healthy on the dessert spectrum.

IMG_5559Blog

Headed up to bed – my next series [The Hunger Games Catching Fire] has lured me in as well. I’ve been reading an hour a night for the past 3 nights!

    I have to admit that I just finished the Hunger Games Trilogy! The first was the easiest to get though, the last has a lot of re-reading (for me) because I was confused 😉

    I love nasoya wontons. Much thicker than others, which means they can be used for ravioli as well. Also make prettier wonton cups because you have more control with them than you would the thinner versions.

    Papaya is among the very few fruits that I can’t stand!!! It just tastes like soap to me! But I think I could learn to like it with some of the cacao bliss on top…that stuff is heavenly!!

      I think for me its the smell. I have to get past the smell in order to eat it. I’m hispanic and my parents eat that stuff all the time, tossing in lime and a little chili does the trick for me!! Coincidentally my son who is 4 years old loves papaya just plain, go figure!

    Fresh papaya and chocolate cocao butter- refreshing and out of the ordinary dessert.

    And those wonton cups…I have recently hopped on board the puff pastry train, stuffing and puffing with all different kinds of things. Your cups look awesome. Less breading, more filling/veggies, which for me is the best way!

    Beth (of Beth’s Journey) had a very similar recipe a few days ago. I have wonton wrappers at home that I bought to make dessert raviolis a while ago that need to be used up (if they’re still good!) and really like this idea (though I don’t have a mini muffin tin).
    I’m not a papaya fan- it’s one of the few fruits that I’m not crazy about. Maybe with lime juice (um, and chocolate!) I’d like it better…

    I love to make those little baked wonton cups and fill ’em up with dessert-y things like homemade pudding or custard and sliced fruit. Good for portion control, that is, if you can eat just one or two 🙂

Great Harvest is first on my list. “Real Food” is one of my passions as well. I just wish my family would jump on board with me and live a healthier life. You are what you eat 🙂
