8 small square wonton wrappers*
1 cup dry coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 large shredded skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce with about 45 calories per 2-tablespoon serving

*Often stocked near the tofu in the refrigerated section of the market.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
To make the wonton shells, spray the inside and outside walls of a deep square or rectangular baking pan with nonstick spray. Evenly drape the wonton wrappers over the pan's walls on a diagonal, making triangle-shaped "shells." (Use two pans, if needed, to keep the wontons from overlapping.) Bake them until just crispy enough to hold their shape, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, but leave the oven on. Carefully remove the shells and gently open them to form " tacos ." Set aside. In another bowl, combine cooked chicken with BBQ sauce; mix well and set aside.
Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken among the shells, followed by the slaw, about 1 tablespoon of each per shell. Lay the filled wontons gently on their sides on the baking sheet. Too with cole slaw mix and cilantro. You can also fry the shells if you like. Let them cool slightly and serve!

    They look yummy. I want to start using wonton wrappers. I saw Hungry Girl make "crab rangoon" today. I've seen individual lasagnas made with them, too.
