Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. For Guacamole: Mash avocado in a bowl. Add red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. For Corn and Black Bean Salsa: Combine corn, black beans, and red bell pepper in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk olive oil, chili powder, and cumin. Pour over corn mixture and toss to coat.
  3. For Cream Cheese Jalapeño Wontons: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, pickled jalapeños, and milk.
  4. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper into a triangle or desired shape, pressing the edges to seal.
  5. Bake wontons for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve guacamole, corn and black bean salsa, and cream cheese jalapeño wontons as appetizers.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level of the salsa by adding more or less chili powder.
  • For crispier wontons, lightly brush with oil before baking.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
