Any reason to use wonton wrapper is a good enough reason for me. I love them, the things you can stuff into them is endless. You might see them on my blog from time to time. I use them for Wonton Taco Cups . I use them for Kale Ravioli’s. Wonton’s are so easy to work with and they crisp up so nice. I’m going to take you through a fun and easy recipe that is perfect as a side dish or an appetizer, but I will admit I sometimes eat them for dinner.
The can chicken breast I get from Sam’s club is so good, it’s all natural with no MSG, or preservatives, plus is it chicken breast meat, no rib meat or other additives are added. So I never feel guilty serving it.
One thing you can always find in my house is a variety of cheese products, so I wanted to try something different in this Quito so I used Laughing Cow cheese wedges instead of shredded cheese.
Just chop into bite size pieces and smash into the chicken and salsa mix, it really gave it a creamy texture.
Add some corn.
Get your wraps ready.
Plop a tablespoon full on the wrap and spread over the entire wrap.
I do suggest getting it as close to the edge as possible so the end of the Quito’s has some filling. It’s such a thin layer that it will not squish out as you roll it.
Assemble on a cookie sheet and bake foe 15 minutes on 375 degrees.
They come out all crispy and ready to be devoured.
Here’s The Recipe:
Ingredients:
- One 12.5-oz. can chunk white chicken breast in water, drained and flaked (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 3 Laughing Cow Blue Cheese Wedges or 1/3 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup corn
- 16 small square wonton wrappers
- Optional dips: salsa, red enchilada sauce, or sour cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, salsa, cheese and then add the corn. Mix thoroughly.
Lay two wrappers flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture onto each wrapper, and spread it evenly over the entire surface of each. Roll each wonton up tightly into a cigar-shaped tube. Place wonton on the baking sheet, seam side down. If needed, secure with toothpicks. Repeat with remaining wonton and chicken mixture.
Bake until crispy, about 15 minutes.
Next time I make these will be adding black beans, I want to load them up with some fiber.

Mmmmm, those wonton taco cups sound interesting! And never thought to roll them up – cool!
yummy
I still haven’t made these… I’m embarrassed to say that I had to buy a new package of egg roll wrappers because the first pack I bought for this recipe expired! I’m determined to make them some time this weekend, perhaps Friday for dinner. Stay tuned!
Also, I sent an email to join the HLB! Just thought you’d want to know, since you inspired me to do so.
That’s funny, I tried something last time I made wraps. I froze the left over sheets and I am curious to see how they are after being frozen. That might be an epic failure. So glad you joined HLB they are so nice, and have so many great posts and members. I love to browse the lists and see new sites as they are added.
I’ll be curious to hear about the results of your freezing experiment!
They do seem very nice, and I’ve already found a few more fellow Michigan bloggers. Maybe we can do a local meetup some day!
I will let you know about the wraps! I would totally be into a MI bloggers meet up, that would be so fun.
I will let you know when I use the wraps how they turn out! I would be all over a MI blogger meet up, that would be really fun.
I’m sure we can organize a MI blogger meet up one of these days! Or maybe even an awesome retreat, a la blend? That’s ambitious, but it would be so fun! Just meeting up for lunch or dinner would be so neat, though, to start with.
oh for sure.
