Jalapeño Wontons
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
  • 20 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • oil for deep frying
Instructions
1
Combine softened cream cheese and diced jalapeño peppers in a medium-sized bowl, stirring until well incorporated.
2
Prepare your workspace by laying out wonton wrappers in batches on a flat, clean surface. Ensure the area is dry to prevent any potential sticking issues.
3
Place a small amount of cream cheese mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper, approximately the size of a small pea.
4
Dip your finger into the water and run it along the edges of each wonton wrapper, creating a thin layer of moisture.
5
Fold the wonton wrappers into desired shapes or follow the package instructions for specific guidance.
6
This step can be completed ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to fry.
7
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a deep frying device to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
8
Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, carefully add wontons a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
9
Fry the wontons until they turn golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per batch.
10
Remove the fried wontons from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
11
Repeat this process with all wontons, then serve the crispy treats with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
