So I went to Apple bee's yesterday for lunch and had chicken wonton tacos...I fell in love. Found this online yesterday and tried it this eve. We thought it was really good. My 6 year old even liked it. Ran the calories myself and they were slightly higher....about 225cal per serving.

'Tons of Yum!
This new starter is totally cute, amazingly delicious, and a calorie bargain, considering it has a fraction of the cals found in the original. HG's Sassy Wonton Tacos: Make 'em, crunch 'em, love 'em...
Ingredients:
8 small square wonton wrappers (often stocked near the tofu in the fridge section of the market)
4 oz. cooked skinless lean chicken breast, shredded
2 tbsp. BBQ sauce with about 45 calories per 2-tbsp. serving
3/4 cup dry coleslaw mix 2 tbsp.
Newman's Own Lighten Up! Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing (or another sesame ginger dressing with about 35 calories per 2-tbsp. serving) 2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To make the wonton shells, spray the inside and outside walls of a deep square or rectangular baking pan with nonstick spray. Evenly drape wonton wrappers over the pan's walls on a diagonal, making triangle-shaped "shells." (Use two pans, if needed, to keep wontons from overlapping.) Bake for 3 - 4 minutes, until just crispy enough to hold their shape. Remove pan from the oven and set aside to cool.
Combine chicken with BBQ sauce in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine coleslaw mix, dressing, and cilantro. Mix well. Microwave for 45 seconds, until slightly softened. Set aside.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. One at a time, carefully remove wonton shells from the pan and fill each with a heaping tablespoon of BBQ chicken and a heaping teaspoon of cilantro slaw. Lay filled wontons gently on their sides on the baking sheet. Spray the upward-facing sides of the wonton shells lightly with nonstick spray (for added crispiness) and bake for about 5 minutes, until warm and crunchy. Let cool slightly and serve!

    I love the little wonton wraps. They are perfect for just about anything to go inside them. I put about a third of a laughing cow cheese, chopped onions and bell peppers, close the top and bake. I bake as shells and put chocolate pudding and a bit of cool whip (all lite stuff, of course); makes great little pies. SPrinkle with cinnamon and sweetner, roll and bake...great cookies......
