Description
Spicy Cheesy Jalapeno Wraps are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer with a creamy, spicy, and cheesy filling, wrapped in crispy golden wonton wrappers. Made with cream cheese, cheddar, jalapenos, and bacon, these wraps are baked or fried to perfection and deliver a bold, flavorful bite with just the right kick of heat.
Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4–6 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
3–5 jalapenos, seeded and diced
2 green onions, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Wonton wrappers (around 22)
Water, for sealing wrappers
Optional for baking: Melted butter + vegetable oil mix
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapenos, green onions, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
-
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing toward you. Add 1 tablespoon of filling near the bottom third.
-
Moisten the wrapper edges with water. Fold the sides toward the center and roll tightly. Seal the edge. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
-
To Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Place wraps on a greased baking sheet. Brush with butter-oil mix. Bake for 5 minutes, flip, and bake another 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
-
To Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (177°C). Fry wraps for 3–4 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Notes
For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapenos.
Substitute cheddar with Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack for variety.
Can be frozen before cooking—bake/fry from frozen with added time.
Great served with ranch, sour cream, or sriracha mayo.
