Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Black beans
- 0.5 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Salsa or dipping sauce
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, black beans, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and sliced green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your finger or a small brush. Fold the wrapper into a triangle and seal the edges by pressing tightly. Ensure there are no air pockets around the filling.
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan or skillet. Fry the wontons in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried wontons using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve hot with salsa or your preferred dipping sauce on the side.
