APPLEBEE'S CHICKEN WONTON

Steps:

• Step 1: In a bowl or seal-able plastic bag. Combine stir fry sauce, Asian toasted sesame dressing, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Add chicken and mix well with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Step 2: In a medium bowl toss coleslaw mix with 2 tablespoons of Asian sesame dressing. Set aside.
• Step 3: Heat olive oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken with the marinade and stir fry until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from the wok and transfer to a bowl. Add about 1/2 inch of oil to the wok over medium high. Fold the wonton wrappers into a triangle formation but do not seal. Place into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on one side. Turn once and fry until golden brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels.
• Step 4: To make tacos- place a small amount of the chicken mixture into the bottom of the fried wonton. Top with coleslaw mixture, green onion, cilantro and red onion.

WONTON TACO CUPS

Steps:

• For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
• In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
• For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.

WONTON TACO SALAD CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Delicately press the wonton skins into the mini muffin tin, being sure to make the base of the wonton skin is flat (this will ensure that the taco cup will stand flat when you remove them from the pan). Spray the wontons lightly with nonstick cooking spray and transfer them to the oven to bake until they are golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add in the onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir to combine. Add in the turkey, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Next add in the chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• To assemble, keep the taco cups in the mini muffin tin (this will help with any unstable taco cups). Add a little cheese to each of the taco cups, then top them with the ground turkey mixture. Next add your desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
• Transfer the taco cups to a platter and serve.

TACO WON TON'S

Steps:

• Brown ground beef & drain.
• Add taco seasoning & salsa. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat & let cool. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (mixture is easier to work with after being refrigerated). Not necessary, but works for me.
• Add shredded cheese & green onion. Mix well.
• Lay out six wrappers at a time & keep the rest under a damp paper towel to prevent from drying out.
• Fill each wrapper with about a tablespoon of filling (don't overstuff).
• Dampen the edges of wrapper with water or egg wash. Fold over forming a triangle.
• Push out any air and pinch edges to properly seal.
• These may be frozen at this point. Lay on a tray in a single layer. Freeze. Then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready fry from frozen.
• Heat oil in deep fryer or can shallow fry in skillet until golden brown and crisp.
• Serve immediately with extra salsa & sour cream for dipping.
