Ingredients

  • 1 packet of nasoya wonton wrappers or any wonton wrappers of choice
  • 1 8oz block of cream cheese
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Cojita cheese grated
  • ¼ cup habanero cheese grated
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • ¼ cup scallions chopped
  • ½ cup corn
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • salt to taste
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Heat up a skillet with oil on med/low heat.
  • In a bowl combine the cream cheese, mayo, cilantro, scallions, corn and all the seasonings along with both the cheeses. Mix until everything until its well combined.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Dab some water on the outer edges of the wonton wrapper and fold the two ends of the wrapper together. Fold the other two ends to make a tiny parcel and pinch to seal tight and make sure that there is no leakage.
  • Deep fry the rangoons until golden brown. Dish out with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess oil by laying the Rangoons on a dish lined with paper towels. Let them cool a little bit and serve with sweet Thai chili sauce.

Notes

  • This recipe will make over 24 Rangoons, but you may have extra filling leftover, you can place in a air tight container in the fridge and use it as a dip for later! 
  • You can air fry them at 380F for 4-6 mins until golden brown, spray the Rangoons with cooking spray before you air fry them. 
  • It does help to pre heat the air fryer for 15 mins before placing the Rangoons into the basket. Helps to cook faster! 
  • I used Nasoya brand wonton wrappers, they can be found at any grocery store. 
  • You can replace the cream cheese, mayo and cheese with plant based products.
