Ingredients:
– 1 package of square wonton wrappers
– 1 can (4 oz) of diced green chiles, drained
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained green chiles, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place a small spoonful of the green chile and cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper. This will help seal the wonton shut.
4. Fold the wonton wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal the wonton.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil. If it sizzles and starts to turn golden, the oil is ready.
6. Carefully add the won tons to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the won tons in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried won tons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Repeat the frying process with the remaining won tons, making sure to keep an eye on them as they cook.
9. Once all the Green Chile Won Tons are fried, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
These Green Chile Won Tons are sure to be a hit at any event, from casual get-togethers to special occasions. The combination of the spicy green chiles and creamy cheese filling wrapped in a crispy wonton wrapper is a flavor explosion that will have your guests coming back for more. Enjoy making and sharing these delightful appetizers with your loved ones!
