Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.Reheat in the oven at 175-200 until heated through.Swap the wonton wrappers for egg roll wrappers cut into 4 quarters.Leave out the sour cream use the full 8 ounces of cream cheese.Swap the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt.Swap the mozzarella cheese for cheddar cheese, Colby cheese or pepper jack.I recommend Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce but any buffalo hot sauce you'd like.Use a shredded rotisserie chicken but any kind of cooked chicken or canned chicken will work great.Shred your own cheese for creamier mixture.Use light cream cheese.For extra crunchy wontons, use two wonton wrappers per cup instead of just one.
