Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on July 9, 2020 Close Photo: lutzflcat If you've ever made dumplings, you may have some extra wrappers sitting in the back of your fridge (or even your freezer, since they can be wrapped tightly and stored indefinitely). But that doesn't mean you need to wait until your next hankering for potstickers to use them. Believe it or not, you'll be hard-pressed to find another ingredient as infinitely adaptable. They can take the place of pasta, chips, or even taco shells, and be used to encase pretty much anything that needs wrapping, from Indian samosas to Italian ravioli. 01 of 10 Chicken Wonton Tacos View Recipe Save OdaMae What a clever take on tacos!
