Jalapeño POPPER WONTON Ingredient Notes
- Jalapeno Popper Dip – A creamy, delicious combination of cream cheese, cheddar, bacon and seasonings.
- Wonton Wrappers – When cooked, these wonton wrappers get crunchy and become the perfect texture balance to the creamy inside.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. Mix together your jalapeno popper dip ingredients. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeno, bacon and seasonings.
Step 2. Make your wontons. Lay out wonton sheets, jalapeno popper dip and a small bowl of water. Get a spoonful of jalapeno popper dip and put it on one side of the wonton sheet (you’re going to fold these in half as triangles). Then, wet your finger and wipe the edges of the wonton sheet and then fold in half, making sure the sides close together.
Step 3. Cook wontons. After all the wontons are made, it’s time to cook them. You can either deep fry, pan fry, bake or put these in the air fryer.
Tips
You can cook these in a few different ways: deep fry, bake in the oven, air fryer, or pan fry. I like using the oven or the air fryer.

Ingredients
- 1 8oz. cream cheese

- Lay out wonton sheets and set out a small bowl of water.
- Put a spoonful or two of the jalapeño popper cream cheese mixture on one side of the wonton sheet.
- Dip your finger in the water and brush it across all edges of the wonton wrappers.
- Fold the wontons in half (into triangles) making sure that the edges seal.
- You can cook these a few different ways: deep fry, pan fry, bake or air fry. I like to air fry them or bake them (at 400 degrees). Cook them until the outsides are golden brown. Time will vary depending on the cooking method you choose. Baking takes about 20 minutes, air fryer takes about 10 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to serve mine with ranch, guacamole, sour cream or avocado sauce.
Notes
I like to use the pickled jalapeños that come in a jar but you can use fresh or canned too.
Use the full 1/2 cup of chopped jalapeños if you want it spicier.
