Chicken Wonton Tacos
These chicken wonton tacos are similar to those at Applebees. I loved the ones at Applebees and decided to attempt a home version. Light and tasty, they make a great appetizer or a quick and easy main dish. Kids love them! Finally, a dish that makes use of ground chicken but is not so far-fetched. I bake the wonton wrappers to save time and eliminate most of the fat. I am extremely pleased with this healthier version. Top tacos with cilantro, red onion, or sweet onion, if desired. Serve lime wedges on the side.
Green Chile Cheese Beer Bread
Great bread for soups, stews etc. Use a dark beer to get a better flavor.
Egg Roll in a Bowl
You might think this was invented to avoid all of that time-consuming wrapping and messy deep-frying, but it wasn't! It was invented by the keto people, because they can't eat egg roll wrappers-but this guy can. So, instead of what's really egg roll filling in a bowl, we're doing the real thing in all of its tasty and textural glory. Garnish with more green onions if desired.
