Green Chili Wontons

 

8 ozs. Monterey Jack cheese, grated

1 4 oz. can hot green chiles, chopped

40 won ton wrappers

1 egg white, slightly beaten

1 tbsp. water

vegetable oil for frying

guacamole

 

Combine the grated cheese and chopped green chiles. Separate won ton wrappers

and lay on waxed paper. Lightly beat together the egg white and water in a small

bowl. Place one-half teaspoon of the cheese mixture on each won ton wrapper.

Tightly fold the won ton like an envelope, sealing the edges with the egg and

water wash. When all of the wrappers are filled, fry the won tons, two or three

at a time in 2 inches of hot oil, until brown. Drain on paper towels. Frying the

won tons should be done quickly since the cheese will begin to ooze from the

wrapper if left too long in the oil. If the won tons are not being served

immediately, place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once

they are frozen, place the won tons into plastic freezer bags. When ready to

serve, reheat for five minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with guacamole slightly

thinned with lime juice or cream.

Makes 40 appetizers.
