These zesty poppers were tweaked from a recipe found awhile ago on the web, but I can't remember the site. If you want, you can use mixed shredded cheeses or another cheese entirely if you don't like Monterey Jack. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature |
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded |
4 ounces jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced finely |
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic |
3 green onions, finely diced, including green tops |
black pepper |
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers |
1 quart vegetable oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Monterey jack cheese, jalapeño peppers, garlic and green onions. Mix well and season with a little black pepper.
2. Fill the wonton wrappers with approximately 1 Tbs. cream cheese mixture. Fold wrappers into triangles then press with moistened fingers or fork to seal.
3. In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place 3-4 wontons at a time into the oil and quickly fry, turning once until golden brown. Remove to paper towels.
4. Serve warm with your favorite salsa/sauce, ranch dressing, or whatever.
5. A good appetizer with margaritas! Ole!
