Wonton Rattlesnake Bites

I found a recipe for Rattlesnake bites on Pinterest the other day, it called for crescent rolls.  I didn't have any of those on hand so I thought I would create my own version of the recipe.  YES I had Wonton Wrappers on hand of course because that is the new must have theme in my house these days.  I know I'm obsessed with them, I can't help it.  They are just so versatile and I'm loving all these recipes I've been finding.  If you want more that I have done click this link to see more.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • Wonton Wrappers (24)
  • Cheese

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook beef and chilies over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the cream cheese, cumin and chili powder. Cool slightly.
  • Place one wonton wrapper in each cupcake pan (remember to spray the pan first so they don't stick). Place a scoop of the meat mixture into each wonton wrapper.  I used a ice cream scoop and just dropped into each one.  I topped with some low fat cheese to give it that extra little yummy factor!
  • Bake at 375° for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 2 dozen.




Hope you enjoy them, I thought it turned out to be a pretty cool creation!

  1. I want! They look so good! I'm curious though. What is the fat and calorie count for a wonton wrapper? I can customize the insides, but I'm curious how those fare nutritionally.

  4. Liz, they are pretty low. I find them in most of the Weight Watcher Recipes I do. I looked it up:
    Calories 23, Fat 0, Protein 1, Carb 5. I usually will do non fat cream cheese, ground turkey, low fat cheese or you can skip but it's so little. Lex :)

    Patty - I believe for the chilli's and seasons has a little bit of a kick. But not sure I just used the name they called them :).

    Teri - Thank you me too!!

    Beth - Thank you so much hun!
