GREEN CHILI WON TONS I

Category: Deep Fried

8 oz shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies
40 wonton wrappers
1 egg white, slightly beaten with 1 tbsp water
Vegetable oil for frying
Guacamole and/or salsa

Combine cheese and chilies. Separate wrappers and lay on waxed paper. Place 1/2 tsp cheese mixture on each wonton wrapper. Tightly fold them like an envelope, sealing edges with egg wash.

Heat oil to 350 in a deep fat fryer. Cook only 3-4 wontons quickly to prevent cheese from oozing out.. Maintain the temperature of the oil to keep the wontons from absorbing the oil. Remove wontons with a slotted spoon when golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Keep cooked wontons warm in the oven at 250, until remaining wontons ore done. Serve with guacamole and/or salsa.

NOTE: Can be made ahead of time and placed in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen, place into plastic freezer bags. When ready to serve, reheat for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.
