Until tonight I had completely forgotten that I used to use wonton wrappers as cups for everything, from mini breakfast quiches to a baked stirfry appetizer. Why did I ever stop? They have a delicate crispness that pairs well with almost anything.
As for the filling, I wish I would have spiced the chickpea and chile mixture a little more. It was a tad too mild for my taste. Otherwise, delicious.

This was my first time using Tofutti cheese in a recipe. I wouldn't really want to eat it plain, but I was impressed by how well it melted and the fact that it didn't taste like crayons.
I served the wonton cups with a cup of this posole/tortilla soupish concoction I invented over the weekend. Basically, it's just a spicy, zesty vehicle for hominy and lots of veggies.
Also, avocados are lovely and plentiful right now, and I have a big pile of them from the farmers market. This will obviously help me achieve my goal of eating one avocado every single day for the rest of my life. Yummy.

First, I was unaware of the verb "to gank." You learn something new everyday.
Second, I agree about the Tofutti. It melts and adds a not unpleasant taste to the dish. But I wouldn't want to eat it plain.
Third, great idea with the wonton wrappers. What a time savers. I can't find any egg-free ones here. Booourns!
Fourth (and last, I swear!), I always make mild dishes or its a cacophony of whining from the boys. Too spicy! Waaah!
