Preparation
Step 1
Place olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add cumin, salt, chile powder, cayenne and cinnamon. Stir to combine and let cook for a minute.
Add ground beef and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add red peppers and cook for another minute, breaking up bigger pieces of meat with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle lime juice over avocado and add to meat mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Place equal amounts of meat mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper (about a tsp. each).
Dip your fingers in water and moisten edges of won ton. Fold won ton over to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and meat mixture.
Place 2 inches of oil in a medium saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat. Working in batches, carefully put 5 or 6 won tons in oil and cook until golden, about 40 seconds. Turn and cook another 30-40 seconds (if won tons get brown too quickly, lower heat a little bit).
Remove won tons from oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and let drain on paper towels before serving with Hass Avocado Dipping Sauce.
