Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
3 green onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeño peppers, green onions, and garlic until well mixed.
Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
Fold each wrapper into a triangle shape. Seal the edges tightly by pressing them together with a fork dipped in water.
In a large, deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully drop 4 wontons at a time into the hot oil. Fry quickly, turning once, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious jalapeño cheese puffs!
