Yield 1 batch, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package small wonton wrappers
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb jalapeno, diced
1 cup monterey jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 quart oil (for frying)

Steps:

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or deep fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, jalapenos, cheese, paprika, salt, and garlic powder.
Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the won ton wrapper over the stuffing to make a triangle or a half moon, depending on the shape of the won ton wrappers you have purchased. Moisten the edges with a little water, and seal. Place prepared won tons under a slightly moist paper towel until ready for frying.
Add 3 or 4 wontons to the hot oil, and cook until golden brown, turning once. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Repeat until all wontons have been fried. Serve hot.
