Avocado Cream Cheese Wontons
Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ripe California Avocado
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 scallion diced
- 1 jalapeño diced really fine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- oil for frying wontons
Instructions
- Saute the diced jalapeño in a tablespoon of oil in skillet until it's softened
- cut avocado and mash it until it's smooth
- mix in cream cheese, scallion and jalapeño, along with salt until creamy and smooth
- fill each wonton wrapper with 1 tablespoon of the mixture
- mix egg and water in small bowl
- rub the edges of each wonton wrapper with egg wash and fold all 4 corners to the center closing the wonton and sealing the seams together so the filling doesn't come out when fried
- Place wontons into a pan of heated oil at 350-375 degrees (I use a 2 quart saucepan with a couple inches of oil)
- fry wontons until golden in color,
- drain on paper towels
