I gave myself a pretty big pat on the back when I thought to make these guacamole wontons. I got a giant pack of wonton wrappers at the Asian market last month and have barely made a dent in the stack. I really didn’t need to buy such a large pack, but they were so much cheaper than the regular grocery store ones! I couldn’t resist. Plus, they are just so versatile. They are definitely one of my favorite ingredients to improvise with. This is probably because it’s nearly impossible to screw up a wonton idea. I’m pretty sure you could stuff a wrapper with anything and it would be delicious fried, baked, or boiled. So, one day I had a sudden inspiration to fill them with guacamole. I was fairly confident that it would be a hit. Cinco de Mayo seemed like the perfect day to try out this festive appetizer. Just like most of my improvisations, these are incredibly easy. I mashed up an avocado, just slightly. I kept it pretty chunky because I didn’t think a super creamy filling sounded as appetizing, but maybe I’ll experiment with it some day. Then I just mixed in a little bit of red onion and jalepeno that I had chopped up for a salsa (more on that later + sneak peak pic below), squeezed some lime and added salt and pepper. I made a separate batch of quac for chips and left the tomato chunks out of the wonton filling. Maybe tomatoes would be good though, I dunno! This is obviously a very scientific recipe. Fry em up and enjoy! Once I bit into these I immediately though, duh, why didn’t I think of these sooner?! The crispy wontons and creamy avocado work so well together. I think when I have a craving for the cream cheese wontons, I might just make these instead. It’s just as good, but doesn’t make you feel sick (and ashamed) afterword. And in case you think warm guacamole sounds really weird, all I can say is, it’s not. Convincing enough?

Awesome post you truly have a talent for cooking I just finished writing a personal view on cooking blogs.Love the blog take care
Thank you
These look excellent! I like the idea of expanding on these and doing different fillings like spiced beef, tomato and chilli, corn and cilantro, cheese and salsa so that after a handful of these wontons you feel like you’ve been eating tacos 🙂
Thank you! I love that idea! And I’ve really been enjoying looking through your blog. Thanks for stopping by!
Did you fry them in the friteuse or did you fry them in butter in a pan? They look very appetizing too! 🙂
Somewhere in between the two! I fried them in a pan, but with a little cooking oil instead of butter. A deep fryer would work great if you have one, but I sadly do not. : )
Thanks for the useful reply! 🙂
These look so delicious. I will definitely try this recipe. Thank you very much for stopping my blog and liking my post.
Thank you! That’s great – I hope you enjoy! I want to try making your cake as well! : )
