Jalapeno Popper Wantons

By Lsweetnell

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 3 jalapenos, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Coarse salt
• package of wantons

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese. Arrange wantons in a single layer on a baking sheet.

2. Add 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of each wanton (don't overfill them). Dip your fingers in a bowl of water and run your wet fingers around all edges of each wanton. Fold the wantons over the filling, pinching the edges to seal to make a triangle and removing any air bubbles.

3. Fry wantons in batches in hot oil until browned and cripsy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve warm.
