Jalapeño Popper Wontons


It's always fun to try out new appetizer recipes during bowl season! These were definitely a winner, but  too hot for the kids. If you're serving them to littles, make sure to cut back on the jalapeños. 


1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
2 cloves garlic, pressed
3 green onions, diced
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, garlic and green onions.

Fill wonton wrappers with approximately 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture each. Fold wrappers into triangles and press the edges with a moistened fork to seal.

In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Drop 4 wontons at a time into the oil and quickly fry, turning once. Remove when golden brown and drain on paper towels.
