Southwest Wontons

Crispy wontons loaded with southwest, cheesy goodness. And you won’t believe how easy this is to whip up!

Ingredients
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup frozen corn kernels
  • ¼ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 24 won ton wrappers
Directions
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine garlic, onion, bell pepper, corn, black beans, cilantro, chili powder, cumin salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cheese and gently toss to combine.
  3. To assemble the wontons, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle, pinching the edges to seal.
  4. Working in batches, add wontons to the skillet and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Serve immediately.
