Ingredients

• 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 cup Green chiles, diced (canned or roasted)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Pineapple, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 1 piece Jalapeño, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
• 0.25 cup Water (for sealing wontons)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine diced green chiles, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the green chile mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles inside.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling, setting the prepared wontons aside on a plate.

Step 5

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.

Step 6

Carefully fry 4-5 wontons at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

To make the pineapple salsa, combine diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning, adjusting as needed.

Step 8

Serve the wontons warm alongside the pineapple salsa for dipping or topping.
