Crispy Wonton Cups With Tuna Salad Recipes

STRAWBERRY WONTON CUPS WITH ORANGE MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• For the wontons: In a large bowl combine the strawberries, orange juice and powdered sugar. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 20 minutes.
• Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray. To create the wonton cups make a small fold in the center of each wonton and push it into the muffin cup, leaving a cup empty between each wonton. Bake the cups until the edges are golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool the cups while you make the whipped cream.
• For the whipped cream: In a bowl using an electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and orange zest. Whip until the cream has soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
• To assemble the cups: Drain the berries, reserving the macerating liquid. Place a few berry slices in the bottom of each cup. Fill the cup with a tablespoon of whipped cream and top with additional strawberry slices. Drizzle with the reserved berry juices and serve.

TUNA POKE WITH WONTON CHIPS

Steps:

• Place a medium bowl in the refrigerator. Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a small saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the wonton wrappers in batches over medium-high heat, until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 seconds on each side. Remove the wonton chips with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over paper towels; sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• Place the hot water in a small heatproof bowl, sprinkle in the seaweed and let it reconstitute, about 5 minutes. Rinse the seaweed under cold water. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water with your hands and let drain in a fine-mesh sieve.
• Meanwhile, cut the tuna into tidy 1/2-inch (12-millimeter) cubes and transfer to the chilled bowl to keep the raw fish cold. Add the seaweed, onion, sesame oil, chile flakes and soy sauce. Fold very gently with a large spoon, like you're folding egg whites, until the tuna poke is well combined.
• Top each wonton chip with about 2 tablespoons of the tuna poke. Garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions and serve right away.

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.

CHICKEN SALAD WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place 1 wonton wrapper into each muffin tin well and press down carefully. Spray lightly with cooking spray. When oven is ready, bake for 8-10 minutes, until wontons are crisp. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the chicken salad. Mix together chicken, grapes, celery, green onion, almonds, mayonnaise, parsley, salt, celery seed, and black pepper. Chill until ready to use.
• Once the wontons are cool, fill each with a scoop of chicken salad and serve.

KETO TUNA SALAD CUPS

Steps:

• Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
• Double-up the lettuce leaves and fill each with some tuna salad. Tuck in a tomato slice. Sprinkle with reserved scallions, bacon and egg.

CRISPY WONTON CUPS WITH TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place 1 wonton wrapper into each cup. Press the wontons into the cups with your fingers and spray each wrapper with cooking spray. Bake until they are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Slice 1/2-inch thick slice from the onion and cut into thirds (reserve the remaining onion for Round 2 Recipe Nicoise Salad with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette and the Online Round 2 Recipe Ham and Cheese Breakfast Burrito). Into the bowl of a mini food processor, add the onion, ginger, brown mustard, red wine vinegar, crushed red pepper, canola oil, salt, and pepper, and pulse until combined. (If you do not have a mini food processor, finely chop the onion and ginger and whisk together with mustard, vinegar, oil and red pepper flakes.) Place into a bowl with the tuna. Thinly slice 1/2 cup of the snow peas (reserve remaining 1 cup snow peas for Round 2 Recipe Nicoise Salad with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette) and stir to combine.
• Fill each wonton cup with the tuna salad, transfer to a serving platter, and serve immediately.
