Sweet Chili Chicken Wonton Nachos

Crispier than a regular nacho, these practically melt in your mouth. Try the spicier version if you like them hot! The wonton aspect gives a unique twist to your every day nacho platter. The Maple Leaf Prime chicken strips make preparation a breeze. The green onion garnish is a necessary touch, and the kick from Frank's Red Hot Sauce is non-negotiable - a must have! -
