Green Onions
- 2 green onions, chopped
Carrots

Instructions

- Fill the Cups: Spoon the tuna mixture into each won ton cup, generously filling them to showcase the delicious blend inside.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the won ton wrappers are golden and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, let the cups cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. You can garnish them with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
