For a richer flavor, try using a blend of pepper jack and Monterey Jack cheese. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout frying for even cooking and maximum crispiness. If preparing ahead of time, fry the wontons until lightly golden, then finish frying just before serving to achieve that perfect golden-brown hue. Experiment with different salsas! A mango salsa or a smoky chipotle salsa would pair beautifully with the cheesy, spicy wontons.

Dec 10, 2023Make sure to seal the edges really well, or the cheese will melt out during frying. Learned that the hard way!
