Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 3 green onions, diced
  • 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Method

  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, garlic and green onions.
  • Fill wonton wrappers with approximately 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture each. Fold wrappers into triangles and press the edges with a moistened fork to seal.
