Ingredients:
– 2 ripe avocados
– 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
– 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
– 1 teaspoon lime juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 12 wonton wrappers
– Oil for frying
– Sweet chili sauce for dipping
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the avocado filling. In a medium mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados and mash them with a fork until creamy, but still slightly chunky.
2. Add in the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocados. Gently mix everything together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
3. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place a small spoonful of the avocado mixture in the center of each wrapper.
4. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper. This will help seal the wontons securely.
5. Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the avocado filling. Press the edges firmly to seal.
6. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat for frying. Carefully place the avocado wontons in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
7. Fry the wontons for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the crispy Avocado Wontons hot with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy the delightful combination of crunchy exterior and creamy avocado filling!
