These crispy wonton cups filled with tender BBQ pulled pork and melted cheddar cheese make perfect finger food for parties and casual get-togethers. They combine a crunchy shell with savory, tangy pork filling for an irresistible snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked pulled pork (preferably slow-cooked pork shoulder)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (smoky and slightly sweet)
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing and brushing)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, pickled jalapeños, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix 2 cups of shredded pulled pork with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce until evenly coated but not soggy. Set aside.
  3. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  4. Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, shaping it snugly without tearing. Brush edges lightly with melted butter.
  5. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into each wonton cup.
  6. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the BBQ pulled pork mixture into each cup, pressing lightly but not overfilling.
  7. Top each cup with a little more cheese and optionally sprinkle chopped green onions.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until wonton edges are golden and crispy and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 3–5 minutes before carefully removing from the tin.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions, sour cream, or pickled jalapeños as desired and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Brush wonton wrappers with butter for extra crispiness. Do not overfill cups to avoid sogginess. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Use room temperature pork filling to keep cups crisp. Can assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 3 hours before baking. Freeze cooked cups on a tray then transfer to a bag for longer storage; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
