Step 1
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings, as necessary.
Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

Step 2
Meanwhile, combine water, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger and red pepper.
-
Step 3
Stir peanut butter mixture into beef. Continue to cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 4
Evenly divided beef mixture over 6 wonton triangles, if desired. Garnish with Toppings, as desired.
Cooking Tip: To make baked wonton wrappers, preheat oven to 350°F. Cut 12 wonton wrappers diagonally in half. Place in single layer on baking sheet; bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove pan to cooling rack; cool completely. Store in air tight container.
Hot cooked whole wheat spaghetti may be substituted for baked wonton wrappers.
