Ingredients

• 24 pieces wonton wrappers
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 medium jalapeños, finely diced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons water (for sealing wrappers)
• 0.5 cups sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cups salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, ground cumin, green onions, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and evenly distributed.

Step 2

Set up a clean workspace and lay out the wonton wrappers. Place a small bowl of water nearby for sealing.

Step 3

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle and press the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

Step 5

Optional: Fold the two opposite corners of the triangle towards the center and press to create a traditional wonton shape.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

Step 7

In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dipping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 8

Carefully fry the wontons in batches, about 2-3 minutes per batch, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
