Directions
Fiesta Wontons, This recipe is from Katie Lee Joel’s new cookbook called The Comfort Table The wontons has a mexican-inspired meat wrapped in a wonton, deep-fried and served with a side of salsa Kinda like little fried tacos Instead of frying, you can bake these instructions included!, These were delicious! I did season the meat mixture well and used half green onion to the regular onion I also bumped the cream cheese up to 4 oz I decided to bake these to cut calories as well as used ground turkey and low fat cheeses I didn’t brush them with egg, I just sprayed them liberally with canola spray and baked in the oven at 450 for about 10-12 minutes turning over half way thru to crisp each side We ate these with more green onions, salsa, and sour cream A great finger food! Thanks for the recipe!, I think the overall concept is a good idea The filling ingredients seem to compliment each other However when I made these I was hesitant because the meat was not pre-cooked I decided to bake half in the oven and fry the other half in my deep fat fryer The batch that was fried, the ground beef did not cook through I tried turning the temp down a bit to give it more time, but the wrappers still browned before the meat could cook through I gave up after doing about 10 this way I then waited for my batch to come out of the oven and the filling was over cooked and dry and the wrapper was tough and chewy in texture Frustrating If I was to do this again- I would precook the meat and deep fat fry it and then I am sure it would be perfect I tried this recipe for PAC fall 09′
