Calories 57kcal
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 3 jalapeños minced (seeds and ribs removed for less heat)
- 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (12 oz) package refrigerated square wonton wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
- coarse salt
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the jalapeños and cheddar cheese.
- Working with a few wonton wrappers at a time, add about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling to the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over, forming a triangle, sealing the mixture in the center. Press lightly with your fingers to seal the edges and press out any air bubbles.
- Heat the oil over medium heat to 350ºF. Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with coarse salt while still hot.
- Serve warm.
