Preparation

Step 1

Instructions Assembling the ravioli
Combine the chicken, cheeses, and ¾ cup salsa in a medium mixing bowl.
Set up a "ravioli filling station" with a parchment paper lined baking sheet or cutting board, a small bowl of water, your wonton wrappers, and your filling.
Scoop a tablespoon of filling into the center of a wonton wrapper and use your finger or a food-only brush to lightly dampen the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold on the diagonal and press the edges to seal. Set the filled ravioli in a single layer on the parchment lined tray. Continue until all the filling is gone.
Freeze the ravioli at least 1 hour until frozen solid.

Frying the Ravioli
When you are ready to fry the ravioli, place your oil in a small sauce pan and set over medium heat.
Set up a breading station by placing your flour in a bowl, panko in another, and the egg wash in a third. Line an additional plate with paper towel to drain your fried ravioli.
Removing the ravioli from the freezer a few at a time, dip in the egg wash, then the flour, shake off the excess. Dip the ravioli in the egg wash once again, then dip in the panko, and then fry in the oil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on the paper towels to drain.
Serve warm with additional salsa for dipping and the cilantro lime sauce.

Make the Cilantro Lime Sauce:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until combined. Adjust to taste if needed.
You may make this up to a day ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator until it's time to serve.
