I am attending a going away party this weekend, and want to take a dish. I imagine there will be many bite sized appetizers, so naturally I want to take something different. I was not sure if this idea would work, so I wanted to try it out prior to the occasion. Mini tacos, made from fried wonton wrappers. They are a perfect bite. They were not not only delicious but fun. I am sure I will be using this idea again for parties. The small package delivered a massive crunch full of flavor. I chose to stuff mine with seafood, some fish some shrimp simply because it is so available. I have full confidence that they will be a hit Sunday.
There are two ways you can make your wonton shells. One is by folding the wrappers over the oven rack and baking until stiff. The other way allows for a crispier, more airy shell but takes time. I placed the wonton wrapper in hot vegetable oil flat...then as soon as it starts to fry and get the air bubbles, I folded it over with a fork, holding it up slightly so that it would have the opening for the stuffing.
I stuffed mine half with shrimp and half with fish. Then all the normal taco toppings.
Until tomorrow...Peace.
It looks wonderful, and without any reservation should taste absolutely grand. I am sure it will be a big HIT at the party.
