  • Wonton wrappers
  • Sliced almonds, toasted for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 and spray a mini muffin tin with Pam.

  3. Heat the pulled pork or carnitas in the microwave.
  4. Mix with hoisin sauce to taste. Try one tablespoon at a time. A little goes a long way and you don't want it to end up too sweet!

Notes
The wanton cups can be made a day in advance, just store in a zip lock. You can also use Tostito scoops!
