Jalapeno Popper Wontons
Description
This recipe blends finely diced seeded jalapenos with cooked, crumbled bacon, softened cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and garlic powder to create a rich and slightly spicy filling. The mixture is portioned onto wonton wrappers which are sealed carefully with an egg wash to prevent bursting during cooking. The wontons are air fried at 350°F, first on one side then flipped and cooked again, to achieve an even, crispy texture without excess oil.
The result is a crunchy, golden exterior enclosing a creamy and spicy filling with a smoky hint from bacon and the mild kick from jalapenos. These poppers can be enjoyed as appetizers or snacks and are best served immediately with ranch dressing, which cools and complements the heat.
Ingredients
- 3 large jalapeno pepper seeded and finely diced
- 4 trips Bacon crumbled, cooked
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg plus one tablespoon of water whisked together
- 19 wonton wrappers store-bought or homemade
- cooking spray
- ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl combine diced jalapeños, bacon, cream cheese, Monterrey jack cheese, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
- In the middle of each wonton, place about 2 teaspoons of the jalapeno mixture. (Be careful to not overfill the wontons so they don't burst while frying.)
- To fold your wontons, dip your finger in the whisked egg wash and rub it around the edges of the wrapper, folding it in half diagonally and press to seal. (You can also use circular wrappers for this recipe.)
- Place the wontons in the air fryer basket in a single layer, spray with cooking oil and then air fry at 350°F for 5 minutes. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
- Flip over the wontons, spray again with cooking spray, and cook for an another 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining wontons.
- Serve hot with ranch dressing.
