Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
20 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
½ cup sweet chili sauce
oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and jalapeno peppers. Arrange wonton wrappers a few at a time on a clean dry surface. Set a cup or small bowl of water nearby. Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Moisten your fingertip in the bowl of water and trace the edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold into triangles or follow directions on the package for desired shapes. This part can be done ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen.
  • Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). When hot, fry the wontons a few at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with all of the wontons, then serve with the sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Wonton Wrappers: Use high-quality wonton wrappers for the best results. Fresh wonton wrappers are more pliable and easier to work with than frozen ones.
  • Filling: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help the filling be smooth and creamy.
  • Spices: Adjust the amount of jalapeño and cayenne pepper to your taste. If you like things spicy, add more; if you prefer milder flavors, use less.
  • Folding: Be careful not to overfill the wontons, or they will be difficult to seal. Fold the wontons tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out while frying.
  • Frying: Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the wontons. If the oil is too hot, the wontons will brown too quickly and the filling will not have time to cook through. If the oil is not hot enough, the wontons will absorb too much oil and become greasy.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno Popper Wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or game day. With a crispy wonton wrapper, creamy jalapeño cream cheese filling, and a sprinkle of bacon, these wontons are sure to be a hit. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete and satisfying snack.
