Ingredients
  

Filling:
  • 1 large avocado peeled and pitted
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 1 green chile chopped
  • 1 10 oz package Cacique® Ranchero® Queso Fresco, crumbled
Wontons:
  • 40 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten (for sealing)
  • 3 cups grape seed oil for frying
Cilantro Lime Crema:
  • 1 15 oz container Cacique® Ranchero® Crema con Sal
  • cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 large lime juiced
  • 1 small serrano chile chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado until creamy but still slightly chunky. Add the chopped green onions, crumbled queso fresco, and chopped green chile. Mix with your hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
Assemble the Wontons
  1. Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the avocado mixture in the center. Lightly brush the edges with the beaten egg. Fold into a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.
Fry the Wontons
  1. Heat grape seed oil in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add wontons in small batches. Fry about 7 seconds per side or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Make the Cilantro Lime Crema
  1. In a blender, combine Cacique® Ranchero® Crema con Sal, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano chile. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a dipping bowl.
Serve
  1. Arrange crispy wontons on a platter and serve with cilantro lime crema for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch.
