Wonderful! Used the "stuffing" for a grilled chicken pizza.

I love this recipe and it's a big hit for the parties I've brought it too! I used canned chicken as well and it works great in a pinch!

This recipe is excellent, looks pretty and there are never any leftovers. I have substituted pre-formed filo cups for the wonton wrappers which was quicker and also excellent.

My husband loved these taco cups! They were great because I could make them ahead of time and then just assemble and bake right before serving them.
