Wonton Cups

Wonton wrappers are a gift for making quick appetizers. The steps are simple: bake the wonton wrappers in mini muffin tins for a short time then add a filling. I made two versions: the first cup is filled with homemade mango guacamole and the second has a chicken and parsley mixture. Store-bought suggestions for fillings include spinach-artichoke dip, guacamole, or chicken salad just to name a few. Other ideas might include shrimp with pineapple salsa, goat cheese with roasted red peppers, or coleslaw topped with shredded pork.

Step 1: Fit the wrappers into the mini muffin tins. It’s your choice—either leave the wrappers square or cut into a circle to eliminate the corners. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray then gently push the wrappers into the molds. Try to push the wrapper flat on the bottom so that it will stand on its own when it comes out of the muffin tin. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.

Step 2: Let the wonton cups cool then fill with your choice of fillings.
