Green Chili Wontons

This green chili wonton recipe is one of our favorites of all-time. And everyone we’ve cooked these for has loved them too. The green chili wonton recipe originated from a restaurant in Louisville, where Greg’s from, called the Bristol Bar & Grill. They used to get them as an appetizer when he was growing up, so we found a copycat recipe. They’re incredible.

You can fry them in a deep fryer or in a skillet with heated oil on a stovetop. We’ve done it both ways and actually prefer the pan fried method.

The avocado dipping sauce makes a ton! We usually half it or you can use the remainder as a dip for pita chips or tortilla chips.

Here’s how to do it (recipe from food.com):

Blend the green chiles, jalepeños and shredded cheese in a medium bowl.

Put two tablespoons of the cheese mixture on one corner of the wonton wrapper and fold that corner over. Fold the corners on the right and left. Dip the remaining corner – the top one — in water before folding it down.

Deep fry in 350-degree oil for one minute or until golden brown.

Let cool and drain on paper towels. 

For the Avocado Dipping Sauce, mash the avocados and blend avocados, lemon juice, seasoning salt, coriander, mayonnaise, and onions thoroughly.

This recipe is one of our favorites of all-time. These originated from a restaurant in Louisville called the Bristol Bar & Grill. The mix of Monterrey jack cheese, green chiles, and jalapenos are mixed and fried in a wonton wrapper. The avocado based dip is a perfect complement to the wontons.

Notes

1. The avocado dipping sauce recipe always makes too much, but its so good if you have any pita chips or tortilla chips to dip it. Or if you want, just half the dipping sauce recipe; you'll have plenty!
