Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeño peppers

  • 20 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers

  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce

  • oil for deep frying

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese and jalapeño peppers. Arrange wonton wrappers a few at a time on a clean dry surface. Set a cup or small bowl of water nearby. Place about a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Moisten your fingertip in the bowl of water and trace the edges of wonton wrappers. Fold into triangles or follow directions on the package for desired shapes. This part can be done ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen.

  2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). When hot, fry wontons a few at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with all wontons, then serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
