Cumin-Chili Spiced WonTon Cups by Mary Ann
24 wonton wrappers
cooking spray
equal amounts of ground cumin and garlic powder (1-2 tsps)
1/4-1/2 tsp chili powder
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine spices in a small bowl and mix with fingers. Spray a muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Lay out 12 wonton wrapper, each one over a muffin cavity. Sprinkle with spice mixture, using fingers to spread evenly over top of wonton. Press each wonton wrapper down into the muffin cavity. Bake in the oven, until tips are brown and entire wonton is crisp and cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool. Fill with Cowboy Cavier, just prior to serving.

Love this idea! The wonton cups are great and I am sure the cavier is the perfect filling!
Yowza! Those are gorgeous and healthy too. I'm saving these for January when I have to be good again.
IMHO, it is quite possible you have just created the All American appetizer. I absolutely LOVE it!!!
Wow! These look fantastic! Is the butternut squash soup your pick??? Ack -- I had dcided to skip Ellie/Barefoot for the rest of the month because I am so behind on Christmas, but if it's your pick, I think I'll go buy some butternut squash :-) (my friend Amanda already made it and said that it is delicious!)
I love it! I really want to eat more NOW!! Cute blog!
Mary Ann, you are a trendsetter. I want to use the same people to make my blog all cute. They did an amazing job! So professional! Seriously, I am in jealousy heaven (which is a good form of jealousy)! I'm going to have to ask you all about it!
What a wonderful appetizer! I'll have to keep these in mind in January. I have two luncheons to cater to then!
We love caowboy caviar!! I love that you made the wonton cups!
