Recipe Notes
I used a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese but feel free to use any of your favorites! Pepper Jack cheese would taste great and so would Gouda! Have fun with it!For a speedy no-chop no-blend sauce I simply used the adobo sauce from the canned chipotle peppers to season my yogurt sauce with. If you want to dice or blend the peppers into this tasty condiment, go for it! I'll often blend a big batch and put in on everything from quesadillas to french fries. It's cool, creamy, smoky, and beyond delicious! Enjoy!
For a freezer-friendly snack, under-bake the won-ton cups by a few minutes an freeze, spaced on a baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer safe container and simply pop them in the oven or toaster-oven for a speedy snack or uber-easy appetizer!
