These crispy cream cheese jalapeño wontons are a quick and easy snack with a creamy, spicy filling wrapped in golden, crispy wonton wrappers. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or a flavorful snack any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 medium jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • About 2 cups vegetable oil (or canola or peanut oil) for frying

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, sliced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  2. Place one wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  3. Dip your finger into a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press edges to seal tightly. Crimp edges with a fork for extra security. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium heat until oil reaches 350°F or a small piece of bread sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds.
  5. Fry wontons in batches of 6-8, turning occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Keep the filling cold to prevent leaking. Do not overfill the wontons to avoid bursting. Maintain oil temperature between 350-360°F for best results. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady. Drain wontons well after frying to keep them crispy. Can be baked or air fried as a healthier alternative.
