Uses for dried chiles and/or wonton wrappers?

VitaLuna

Lurker here needing some help: I have two things that I've never used I'm wondering what in the heck to do with them!

 First thing: a package of wonton wrappers. I know there are lots of uses for these, I just haven't found the right one in my google searches. (most of the recipes I've found involve deep frying, which I can't do. Greasy food is really hard on my stomach).

 Second: There is a huge wall of bagged dried chiles at a local grocery store. I am fascinated by them, but don't know how I'd use them. Any ideas?

We eat pretty much everything. We're more ethnic food eaters than meat and potatoes, but everything goes. We also eat relatively healthy, but that doesn't mean we can't splurge on a good recipe.

TIA!

Dried Chilis - you can Google, there are a few recipes where you can make chili oil.

 Wontons- I love wontons and have a bunch on my blog and a bunch more coming since this seems to be a common question around here!

You can place the wonton wrappers in a muffin tin coated with cooking spray and bake them until crisp and then fill with asian inspired ground beef, veggies or mexican inspired salsa/beans.

brush the won ton wrappers with melted butter, and toss in cinnamon and sugar mix, then bake : )

Hot Artichoke Dip (alone or in wonton cups)

I have a package of wontons I've been using for 3 weeks to get rid of them!

I've filled them with sausage and cheese, turned them into pumpkin ravioli, made them into crab rangoons, pork dumplings, and taco bites.

Wontons for wonton soup  - make them and freeze them separately on a cooking sheet for about 40 mins put in a ziplock bag. They are a great item to have when your in a hurry, from frozen only need about 7 mins in boiling water. You make like a wor wonton soup as well. I can give you my filling receipe if you want it.
