Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you arrange wonton wrappers in a muffin tin, pressing them gently to form cups. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
In a mixing bowl, scoop out the ripe avocados and mash them until smooth. Add the fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt, stirring until well combined.
Once the wonton cups have cooled, fill each cup with the creamy guacamole.
Sprinkle the tops with pomegranate seeds and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
