This snack is the perfect combo of spicy & sweet, cheesy & creamy, and tangy & spicy–a triple-threat appetizer win! In a delicate wonton wrapper, you’ll enclose a filling of jalapeño pepper, cheddar, cream cheese, pepper jack, and scallions. Shallow fry till they’re gooey inside and crackly crunchy on the outside. For an extra dose of spicy-sweet flavor, dip them in our sweet Thai chili sauce.

Instructions

1

Wash and dry produce.

2

Trim and thinly slice scallions. Roughly chop jalapeño, removing ribs and seeds for less heat if desired (chop into smaller pieces for less intensity).

3

Place cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. (Continue to microwave in 10 second increments if still not softened.)

4

Remove plastic wrap; stir in cheddar, pepper jack, scallions, garlic powder, and as much jalapeño as you like until evenly combined.

5

Place 2 TBSP water in a small bowl.

6

On a clean work surface, working one at a time, add about 1½ tsp filling to the center of each wonton wrapper, leaving a ¼-inch border around the edges. TIP: Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel as you work to keep them from drying out.

7

Using your fingers, lightly brush edges with water. Fold each wonton into a triangle, meeting the top and bottom corners to each other and pressing firmly around the filling to remove any air and seal wontons. TIP: Lay filled wontons on a baking sheet in a single layer and cover with a kitchen towel while you work.

8

When you’re on your last batch, heat ⅓-inch of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of flour sizzles, carefully add wontons. (Work in batches, don’t crowd the pan!) Fry wontons, turning as they brown, until golden and crispy, 3-5 minutes. (If oil gets too hot, lower the heat.)

9

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

10

Serve jalapeño popper wontons with chili sauce on the side for dipping.
