Jalapeno Popper Wontons

Ingredients

To prepare Jalapeno Popper Wontons, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 package of wonton wrappers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2-3 fresh jalapenos, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (or cooking spray if baking)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make your Jalapeno Popper Wontons:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, crumbled bacon (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger, then fold the wrapper over to create a triangle and press to seal. You can also bring the corners together for a more traditional wonton shape.
  3. Repeat the process until all the filling is used, placing the finished wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place a few wontons in the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the wontons. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), arrange the filled wontons on a baking sheet, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, or a spicy sriracha mayonnaise.
