Wontons are small morsels of ground meat wrapped in a wrapper made from wheat. They ‘re still dainty, appetizing, and the best food ever. Finally, a dish that makes use of chicken from the ground, but not so far-fetched. To save time, I bake the wonton wrappers and remove most of the fat. For the extra flaky shells, folded in a triangle for about a minute on each side, you can fry wrappers in sesame or olive oil, even if it takes time. The healthier version was extremely pleasing to me. Top cilantro, red onion, or sweet onion tacos, if needed. Serve with lime wedges.
