Wonton Poppers

By tschnet1

Ingredients

• 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
• Oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

This is the "basic" - I like to add a little chili powder and some seasoning salt for a little variation.

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.
