Beef Southwestern Wontons image

My Food Production students and I created this little treat. We served them at my mother's retirement party, because she loved her sample she got when we first produced them. They are a fun twist on finger food and very adaptable.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package wonton wrappers
½ lb lean ground beef
½ package taco seasoning mix
¼ onion, minced
¼ green bell pepper, minced
½ small can mexi-corn, drained
½ (4oz) can diced green chilies, drained or jalapenos if you want more spice
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
salsa, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Crumble ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until evenly browned, and grain off grease. Add taco seasoning, green pepper, and onion; cook according to package directions (add water). Add Mexi-corn and green chilies, heat through. Set aside.
  • 2. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet.
  • 3. Lay out one wonton wrapper at a time, place about one (good sized) teaspoon of ground beef mixture. Top with a small amount of shredded cheese.
  • 4. Sealing Wontons: Wet the edges of the wonton with water, pull the opposite corners up and press together. Pull the remaining two sides up and seal with the sides already up. Pinch closed.
  • 5. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from oil to drain on paper towels. Serve hot and fresh with salsa.

These wontons were a disappointment. The filling was dry and the wonton wrappers were tough.

These wontons were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a big fan of wontons, but these were actually pretty good. The filling was flavorful and the wonton wrappers were crispy.

These wontons are a great appetizer or main course. I served them with a side of rice and vegetables.

I followed the recipe exactly and the wontons turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

These wontons were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the wonton wrappers were too thick.

The wontons were easy to make and turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious.
