Provided by Jess Smith via Inquiring Chef

Categories     Appetizer

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
2 Green Onions, finely chopped
1 cup finely shredded Cooked Chicken ((we used rotisserie chicken))
½ cup Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
¼ cup Salsa Verde / Green Salsa
¼ cup Mayonnaise
1 package square Wonton Wrappers ((~35 wrappers))
Nonstick Cooking Spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • While the oven is heating, combine cream cheese, green onions, chicken, cheese, Pace® Salsa Verde and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Fill a small bowl with tap water.
  • Start assembling wontons by setting out 6 wonton wrappers at a time (place a damp paper towel over any wrappers you are not working with to prevent them from drying out). Fill each wonton wrapper with a heaping teaspoon of filling. Dip your fingers in water and run them along the edges of the wrapper. Bring the corners of the wrapper together and press along the seams to seal the filling inside. (Note: Don't worry if these aren't perfect - they'll still taste great!)
  • Set assembled wontons on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a small amount of space between them. Continue until all of the wontons are filled.
  • Spray the tops of the wontons with nonstick cooking spray (this will help them to crisp and turn golden).
  • Bake until wontons are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Serve with extra salsa of choice for dipping. Enjoy!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 32 nachos

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup white onion, diced
2 garlics, minced
½ lb ground beef, 80-85% lean
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 oz pickled jalapenos, canned, drained, liquid reserved
8 oz american cheese block, cut into small cubes
32 square wonton wrappers, 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm)
1 large egg, beaten
vegetable oil, for frying
kosher salt, to taste
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
15 oz black beans, canned, drained and rinsed
12 oz pickled jalapenos, canned, thinly sliced
½ small red onion, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
sour cream, to taste
1 avocado, sliced
fresh cilantro, chopped, to taste
lime wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until softened but not browned.
  • Add the beef, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to break up the ground beef, then let sit undisturbed for about 3 minutes to let the meat brown. Stir and continue cooking until no pink remains, 5-7 minutes total. Add 2 tablespoons of the pickled jalapeño liquid and cook until slightly evaporated, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Drain any excess liquid from beef and set aside.
  • Make the wontons: In a medium bowl, mix together the American cheese and beef until well combined with large chunks of cheese still intact.
  • Fill a large, deep pot about ⅔ of the way with vegetable oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • On a clean work surface, lay out 10 wonton wrappers at a time. Scoop about 2 teaspoons of the beef mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush 2 edges of the wrapper with egg, then fold up one corner to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle, and gently press all the edges together to seal, ensuring all the air is pressed out from around the filling. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
  • Working in batches, gently lower 4-6 filled wontons into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, flipping once, 2-3 minutes total. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Arrange half of the stuffed wontons on a baking sheet. Cover with ½ cup (50 g) of the shredded cheddar and about half the black beans. Top with the remaining wontons and cheddar cheese.
  • Broil the wontons until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
  • Top the wonton nachos with the remaining black beans, jalapeños, red onion, tomato, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
  • Enjoy!

  • To make the wontons ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the frozen wontons for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through.
  • For a healthier version of this recipe, use whole wheat wonton wrappers and bake the wontons instead of frying them.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings. Some other popular options include ground pork, shrimp, and vegetables.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and duck sauce.
