      Yogurt Dip:

Taco Bites: 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper. 
  2. Combine the pepper jack, black beans, corn, tomatoes, garlic powder and paprika in a large bowl. 
  3. Keep wonton wrappers covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel. Place scant tablespoonful pepper jack filling into the center of one wrapper. With the wrapper in a diamond shape, fold bottom point over filling. Fold side points toward the center over filling. Moisten remaining point with water; roll up tightly to seal. Repeat step with remaining filling and wrappers.
