A nifty cross between egg rols and tacos, these triangles are fun to serve, especially at the holidays. These are great for brunch or party appetizers. Read more . I have modified the original recipe. Ingredients:
ingredients |
1 pound lean ground beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 can ( 16-oz ) refried beans, fat-free |
1 1/2 cups ( 6-oz ) shredded cheddar cheese, reduced-fat |
1 cup salsa |
1 can ( 4-oz ) diced jalapeno peppers, drained |
2 packages ( 12-oz each ) wonton wrappers |
oil for deep-fat frying |
additional salsa |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, onion, salt and pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the beans, cheese, salsa and jalapenos. Cook and stir over low heat until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; cool for 10 minutes.
2. Place a teaspoonful of beef mixture in the center of one wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water. ( Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Fold wontons in half, forming a triangle. Repeat.
3. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1-inch of oil to 375 F. Fry wontons, a few at a time, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with salsa. Yield: 30
4. Note: I have modified the original recipe to a diabetic friendly one but it still high fat due to deep frying.
