Notes
Use Wonton Wrappers or larger Egg Roll Wrappers
Wonton wrappers are smaller than egg roll wrappers but are made from the same dough ingredients. They are interchangeable in many recipes but not ALL (like ones that steam). For air-fried taco wontons, either wrapper type can be used.
Just adjust filling amount.
Wonton wrappers tend to be small, but you can stuff a lot of flavor into a wonton recipe! Flavor the meat with chopped green chilies, cloves garlic, pepper flakes, and black pepper to make every bite delicious.
