Wonton Tacos

2 recipes in one week!! This must mean I have LOTS of spare time on my hands haha.  


Last night I made this recipe from Hungry Girl.  It's one of her "re-makes" from an Applebees appetizer.  These weren't too bad, the only thing I would suggest is leaving the coleslaw mixture cold and not heating it up.  I'm just not a big fan of warm chewy lettuce haha.

What you need:

• 8 small square wonton wrappers
• 4 oz. cooked skinless lean chicken breast, shredded
• 2 Tbsp. BBQ sauce w/about 45 calories per 2 Tbsp serving
• 3/4 cup dry coleslaw mix
• 2 Tbsp. Newman's Own Lighten Up! Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing (or similar)
• 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2.  To make wonton shells, spray the inside and outside walls of a deep square or rectangular baking pan with nonstick spray.  Evenly drape wonton wrappers oer the pan's walls on a diagonal, making triangle-shaped "shells".  (Use two pans, if needed, to keep wontons from overlapping).

3.  Bake for 3-4 minutes, until just crispy enough to hold their shape.  Remove pan from oven and set aside to cool..

4.  Combine chicken with BBQ sauce in a bowl and mix well.  Set aside

5.  In a microwave-safe bowl, combine coleslaw mix, dressing, and cilantro.  Mix well.  Microwave for 45 seconds, until slightly softened.  Set aside (This is where my personal preference would be to not microwave it)

Chicken and coleslaw mixtures

6.  Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.  One at a time, carefully remove wonton shells from the pan and fill each with a heaping tablespoon of BBQ chicken and about a teaspoon of cilantro slaw.  Lay filled wontons gently on their sides on the baking sheet. 

Before baking

7.  Spray the upward-facing sides of the wonton shells lightly with nonstick spray (for added crispiness) and bake for about 7-10 minutes, until warm and crunchy.  Let cools slightly and serve.  

After baking

Again these were pretty good, if you like Chinese style tacos ha.  Give them a try!!
