Chile Relleno Wontons with Jalapeño Soy Sauce: Crispy, Cheesy, Spicy Bites

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix together chopped chiles, Monterey Jack, cream cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2: Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold over to form a triangle, and press to seal tightly.

Step 3: Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Step 4: For the dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced jalapeño, and sesame seeds.

Step 5: Arrange wontons on a plate, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve with jalapeño soy sauce.
