It's cold! So let's go out to EAT.....
It's Saturday night and nobody wants to cook dinner. We head out to one of our favorite Mexican restaurant, only to find that it's been closed... bummer! Since everyone in the car wanted Mexican food, (even the three year old) we were on a mission to find another restaurant. We end up at Fajita Grill in Alpharetta, GA. The food was authentic, although I'm not Mexican so I guess I can't really say that, but it was really good. The salsa was good and there was plenty of it. The best part was the guacamole, a rough chop of avocado's, red onions, cilantro, tomato's and jalapeños.
Wow these are spicy! Jalapeño Poppers!
I was craving something spicy and not too fatting so I decided to make my version of Jalapeño Pepper Poppers. You can really put anything into a won ton wrapper and you can make these as spicy as you want.
Make sure that you make a lot because they go really fast.
Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
20 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
1/2 tsp garlic powder
dash of lemon pepper
1/2 cup duck sauce
Kosher salt
Directions
In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and jalapeno peppers, garlic powder and lemon pepper. Arrange wonton wrappers a few at a time on a clean dry surface. Set a cup or small bowl of water nearby. Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Moisten your fingertip in the bowl of water and trace the edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold into triangles or follow directions on the package for desired shapes. This part can be done ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen.
Pre-heat oven to 400, spray the wontons with cooking spray and cook for about 10 minutes or until brown and crispy looking. Sprinkle with Kosher salt.
