MEXICAN FIESTA WONTONS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Mexican Fiesta Wontons Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 15

Wontons:
2 tsp vegetable oil, divided
8 oz lean ground beef
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup canned green chilies, diced
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp enchilada sauce
22-24 wonton wrappers
Cheese Dipping Sauce:
1 (14.5-oz) can petite diced tomatoes with sweet onions, well drained
1/4 cup canned green chilies, diced
1 (16-oz) package Velveeta cheese, chopped into 1/2" cubes
1/2 cup enchilada sauce
1/4 cup Corona beer

Steps:

  • To prepare the wontons, heat 1 tsp of the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Place the ground beef into the pan, sprinkle with the salt, and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan, drain any excess fat, and place into a bowl. Set aside. Add the other tsp of oil to the pan, and then add the onions, peppers, and chilies, and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Place the meat back into the pan with the cooked vegetables, and then add the enchilada sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes, or until the sauce is fully absorbed. Scoop the mixture into a bowl. Refrigerate until completely cooled. To assemble the wontons, brush the edges of each wrapper with water, and one by one, place 1 Tbsp of the meat filling into each. Fold the wonton in half to form a triangle and seal the edges. Brush the tips of the triangles with a little more water to join them together, and press to bind. Freeze the stuffed wontons until you're ready to fry. Preheat a deep fryer to 350°F. Place the wontons into the deep fryer in batches and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown. To prepare the cheese sauce, place the petite diced tomatoes and chopped chilies into a 3-qt sauce pot and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the chopped Velveeta cheese, enchilada sauce, and beer and cook, constantly stirring, until the cheese is completely melted. Place the dip into a warm serving vessel and serve.

Tips:

  • Use wonton wrappers that are fresh and not dried out. If you are using dried wonton wrappers, be sure to soak them in water for a few minutes before using.
  • Make sure the wonton filling is moist. If the filling is too dry, the wontons will be difficult to fold and seal.
  • Fold the wontons tightly so that the filling does not leak out during cooking.
  • Fry the wontons in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Mexican wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can find a recipe that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are serving them at a party or just enjoying them as a snack, Mexican wontons are sure to be a hit.
