Taco Wontons
Author: 
Recipe type: Appetizer
 
Ingredients
  • ½ pound lean ground beef
  • ½ pound ground  turkey
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 1 packet Lawry's Taco Seasoning or taco seasoning, to taste
  • Wonton wrappers (the square ones)
  • Water to seal the wontons
  • Canola oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Sautee chopped onions and garlic, then make taco meat according to Lawry's Taco seasoning packet.
  2. To make wontons, lay wrapper on your workspace and scoop about 1 teaspoon of the taco meat in the center of the wrapper.  Using a butter knife, dip the tip in a bowl of water and run it along the 2 top edges of the wonton. Then take the bottom and fold over the meat to seal the wonton closed.
  3. Heat canola oil in a large pot until hot.  I didn't measure the temp of the oil.  I just take a little corner piece of the wonton, throw it in the oil and if it sizzles and floats to the top - you're good to go.  I like to keep the range on medium-high while frying these.  Fry the wontons for about 30 - 45 seconds on one side, flip, then let it fry another 30 - 45 seconds until golden.
  4. I let these drain on a paper towel lined plate.  Serve immediately while hot.
