Best 6 Crispy Wonton Cups With Tuna Salad Recipes

CRISPY BAKED WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush oil on both sides of each wonton wrapper or use an oil mister to mist each side of the wonton wrapper.
• Carefully tuck the wrapper evenly into a well of a standard sized cupcake pan. (You'll need two pans for all 24 wonton cups.)
• Bake 8 minutes or until cups are crispy and golden brown. Make sure to check that the bottom of each wonton cup is crispy. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
• Cool and stuff each wonton cup with the fillings of your choice!

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.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using.

CRAB SALAD IN CRISP WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Brush the wonton wrappers with oil, and place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin. Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. The wrapper will overlap itself and stick up out of the cup. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned and crisp. Remove from the tin and allow wrappers to cool.
• Meanwhile whisk together the zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Add the oil and whisk until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the crabmeat, celery, mango, scallion and cilantro. Add dressing and toss to combine. Fill each cup with the crab salad 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.
