Ingredients

  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • olive oil
  • 2 egg whites, frothed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped roma tomato
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • 8 ounces sliced ripe black olives
  • 2 tablespoons pickled pepperoncini peppers
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Preparation

Step 1

Brown the Italian sausage and drain fat. Crumble the sausage if it is in casing.

Brush 2 cookie sheets with a layer of olive oil.

Place wonton wrappers triangles as single layer on cookie sheets.

Brush wonton wrappers with olive oil. They should be almost completely wet, but with a little bit of white dough and flour still showing.

Brush with egg white and sprinkle with oregano.

Bake at 400ºF for 6 minutes or until golden brown. Watch them! They should raise and brown but not burn!

Cool the chips quickly. Use a cooling fridge if available. If you are in Canada, as I am, stick them outside in the Winter.

Use a spatula to lift off the cooked wrappers. Break into triangles. These are your homemade 'Nacho Chips'.

On a platter layer the nacho chips and sausage. Save extra Chips in a bowl for dipping

Top with tomato, green onions, olives and pepperoncinis.

Finish with shredded cheese and red pepper flakes.

Place in warm oven for approximately 5 minutes to melt cheese.

Serve with side sour cream.

Enjoy!!!
