Good morning, everyone!
My four year old has been going to preschool Tuesdays and Thursdays and I’m loving it! Not that I don’t love it when he’s home but it’s nice to be able to drop him off at the school and me and my little 16 months old boy go for an hour long walk. It’s nice because I rarely spend one-on-one time with my baby. It’s been nice to enjoy some quiet time in the morning!
I shared a chipotle jalapeno popper wonton cup recipe just a few days ago… This recipe doesn’t have chipotle in it. It’s also panfried, not baked. But I really think that I could have baked these, too. Or of course, you can fry them if you want.
I love using wonton wrappers in my cooking.. I never knew that you could make so many variety of things with wonton wrappers. Soon, I will do a recap of all the recipes using wonton wrappers. Some people have asked where they can find these wonton wrappers. They are usually located in the area where you can get tofu and bean sprouts, or other refrigerated Asian ingredients are.
Some grocery stores only have square ones but occasionally, you can also find round ones… which makes the authentic half moon shaped Korean or Japanese potstickers. These little popper bites are made with the square wrappers.
To make the popper bites, you will need canned jalapenos. Chop jalapenos and you will need about 2 tablespoons.
Combine cream cheese, jalapenos, and smoked paprika (optional).
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of a square wonton wrapper as shown in the picture above. Wet the edges of the wrapper using your fingertips. Roll lightly to wrap as shown in the picture above.
I didn’t bake these this time, but simply panfried them. But I think baking would work just as good. Just spray the wonton bites with cooking spray and bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. If you prefer panfrying, heat oil in pan and cook the wonton bites until golden brown. Or of course, you can fry them, too! The choice is yours.
- 4 ounces light cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons canned jalapeno peppers, chopped
- pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
- 8 square wonton wrappers
- oil/cooking spray
- sweet chili sauce, to serve
- Combine cream cheese, jalapeno peppers, and paprika in small bowl and mix well.
- Place a spoonful of the mixture in the center of wonton wrapper. Wet all edges of the wrapper using fingertips. (Wet your fingertips with water.) Roll gently and seal.
- For baking; spray the prepared wontons with cooking spray and bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are golden brown.
- For panfrying; heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil and fry the wontons both sides until golden brown.
- For frying; heat oil and deep fry until golden brown.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce if desired.

Can't wait to make these. They look delicious.
Must be nice to have a bit of alone time with the little one! These are so inviting…pop pop pop in my mouth.
Yum!!! Sounds like it would be great for a little dinner party!
Love these! I can already taste them. How great would these be at a potluck? ♥
These Jalapeno Popper Wonton Bites are too tempting. Photos are amazing. After seeing those snaps my mouth is watering. Thanks for sharing recipe.
these look awesom. I featured them today in my Friday Five @ Feed Your Soul – http://chefpeterskitchen.blogspot.com/2012/09/friday-five_14.html.
Yummy! They sound and look so delicious. Guess I should start using wontons more often.
Looks yummy..can’t wait to try!
yummy…im going to try this…thanks.
I cant seem to find wonton wrappers in my area. I have everything else just not the wrappers. :(
They are always in the cold section by the bagged salad in my area. I couldnt find them anywhere then I finally asked and they were in the last place I would have looked!
I like it so bad from mia.
I made these a few days ago. They are awesome. Couldn't stop eating them :)
yum thanks 4 sharin! gonna try this
I could only find the round wonton wrappers. Hoping to find the square ones the next time I make them.
I made these last night, so yummy. The only thing I added was 4 ounces of green chilies, 4 more ounces cream cheese (leftovers) 1/4 cup mayo, garlic powder and cumin. Can you tell me about how many calories your^ recipe is? Thanks for the great recipe! This is for sure a great one. :)
These look amazing :)
Do you know of a way to use cheddar cheese instead of cream cheese
Hi Jennifer! You can always experiment and see if cheddar works well for these. The idea of these bites is a wonton version of jalapeno poppers. But I’m sure you can create something just as delicious with your favorite cheese. Good luck! Thanks for your comment.
