Some of the first appetizers I decided to make for our “Spring Into Summer” party last week were these little “Black Bean & Mango Salsa Cups”. The recipe could not have been simpler — just a yummy mango and black bean salsa popped into baked wonton cups. Easy, cute, fresh, and delicious. Well, apparently the guys in the room had a different spin on “cute”…

Derek: “Dude, what are these little things? They’re really good!”

Other guys in room: “They look like little claws.” “Yeah, man, like talons!” “With salsa!”

Derek: “So they’re like RO*TEL talons. RO*TALONS!!!!”

Thus blogosphere, I introduce to you cute little salsa cups. Or Ro*Talons. :)

Black Bean & Mango Salsa Cups

You’ll love this delicious and easy Black Bean & Mango Salsa Cups recipe! It’s ready to enjoy in 15 minutes or less!

Total Time: 15 mins

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

12 wonton wrappers
1 can RO*TEL diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
1 can whole-kernel corn
1 mango, peeled and diced
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the wonton “cups” by gently pressing each wrapper down into a mini-baking cup, careful to be sure that the corners are folded out and not in. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cups are firm and slightly golden.

Meanwhile, stir together all remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl until combined. Once the wonton cups are ready, spoon the salsa into each cup, and serve immediately.

Ali’s Tip:

Feel free to substitute in any of your favorite chunky salsa recipes with these! Just be sure that the salsas are well-drained, otherwise the bottoms of the wonton cups will get soggy.

Difficulty: Easy Ingredients: black beans, cilantro, corn, cumin, green onions, mango, Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles, wonton wrappers
