Servings: 24
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups peeled pitted and chopped fresh or frozen peaches
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt divided
- 2-3 fresh jalapeño peppers stemmed, halved, seeded (optional) and diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the red and yellow peppers, onion, lime zest, lime juice and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse until mixture is almost smooth, but small pieces remain. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, Stir in one-third of the diced jalapeños and cilantro; set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, the remaining jalapeño and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Add ¼ cup peach mixture and stir until combined; set aside.
- Prepare your work area: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and fill a small bowl with water. Working with one wrapper at a time, place a rounded teaspoon onto the center of each wrapper. Using your fingertip or a brush, lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold corner to corner; pressing edges lightly to seal. Brush outside edges with water and press and seal to make a pocket. Transfer filled wonton to prepared baking sheet and continue with remaining filling and wrappers.
- Fill a large heavy-bottom pot with with 2-3 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil until an instant-read thermometer reaches 350°F. Using a spider, gently lower 2-3 wontons, at a time, into the hot oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack set over a paper bag to allow to drain; allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve peppers with remaining peach mixture. Enjoy!
