    • 1 Tbsp chili powder
    • 20 slices canned jalapenos

    • 1 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend
    • 18 wonton wrappers

    • Cut chicken sausages in half lengthwise and then into 1/8 inch thick slices. In a medium sized bowl, add sausages, taco sauce, chili powder, jalapenos, egg whites and cheese together. Mix thoroughly.
    • Spray muffin pans with cooking spray, and place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup. Spoon sausage and cheese mixture into each wrapper.
