Jalapeño Popper Wonton's make the best party appetizer! The playoffs are here and the Super Bowl is right around the corner! Make them hot or make them not, the choice is yours ;).
Helpful Items for Jalapeño Popper Wontons
- Flint and Flame Knives - I use these daily and have had them for over 2 years. I've yet to sharpen them! Definitely great quality knives. Code CHEFTIM40 to get 40% this knife or their entire website.
- Staub Cast Iron Pan - You'll want the largest size for this portion. When cooking down the wine and stock, your pan will be very full!
- Bench Scraper - No joke.. everytime I cook I use this. You'll surprise yourself with how much you'll end up using it!
- Cutting Board - My friends over at SMK Woodworking have gifted me with the best quality cutting board! Give them a like and check them out!
- Ninja Air Fryer - I enjoy having a smaller one that doesn't take up a lot of counter space. This one is also a 4 in 1 air-fryer! It does it all!
- Zester - I love the narrow blades on this zester. Makes the zesting technique much easier when zester round objects.
- Muffin Pan - Make sure you have at least 16 slots for these wontons. You may be able to squeeze in a few more if you aren't as generous with your filling as I was.
Ingredients you'll need your Jalapeño Popper Wontons
To Roast in Air Fryer
- 2 tablespoon EVOO
- 3 Jalapeños
- 1 Small Bell Pepper
Wontons
- 3 Strips of Bacon
- 16 Wonton Wrappers
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Kairos Seasoning (or a Mexican blend spice)
- 1 Jalapeno
- 2 Scallions
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Detailed Instructions
Roast Peppers
Step 1 : Chop off the top of the bell pepper and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil along with 3 whole jalapeños. Coat with olive oil.
Step 2 : Roll them up in foil and place in air fryer for 12 minutes on 350°F.
Prep Wontons
Step 3 : Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 4 : Cut 3 strips of bacon into small pieces. Cook on a skillet on medium heat. Remove bacon bits once browned. (Be sure not to overcook here. They will continue to firm up and cook once removed.)
Step 5 : Remove peppers from air fryer. Take out seeds and then dice them up. Place to the side to cool.
Step 6 : Oil up the muffin pan and lightly press a wonton inside each muffin slot. Note : Make sure the bottoms are flat so the Wontons can be plated easily. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
Make Filling and Bake
Step 7 : Zest lime. Chop remaining jalapeño and scallions (using the greens). Combine zest, jalapeño and scallions in a bowl with roasted peppers, cream cheese, lime juice, seasoning, and ¾ cup shredded cheese. Mix together well.
Step 8 : Once wontons are crispy, place a small amount of cheese in the bottom of wontons and fill them with cream cheese mixture. Cook for another 15-17 minutes.
Step 9 : Top with a slice of jalapeño and enjoy your Jalapeño Popper Wontons!
