Black Bean and Corn Wonton Cups

I have actually used these wonton cups for other recipes. They are good with chicken salad and we always use them with lettuce wraps too. Dale likes the lettuce wraps in these cups more than he likes them wrapped in lettuce leaves. They make a good presentation so they are great for parties.

I have been concerned about the sharp corners with children so I usually buy the wonton circles instead of the squares and that takes care of the problem.
