Instructions

- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Shape wonton wrappers by gently pressing each into a muffin cup, allowing edges to overlap slightly.

- Fill the cups with the mixture, almost to the top, being careful not to overfill.

Notes
For extra crispiness, lightly brush edges of wonton wrappers with oil before baking.
The recipe can be customized with different cheeses, proteins, or vegetables.
To reduce heat, remove jalapeño seeds or use a milder pepper.
Perfect for make-ahead prep: filling can be prepared a day in advance.
