Arizona Juan Tons Wontons Recipes

ARIZONA JUAN TONS (WONTONS)

Steps:

• Cook ground beef, onions in a large skillet until meat is brown and onion is tender.
• Drain off fat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• To the beef mixture, add the beans, cheese, picante sauce, chili powder and cumin and mix well.
• Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour or until well chilled.
• Place won-ton skins with 1 point toward you.
• Spoon a slightly rounded teaspoon of the mixture onto the center of the skin.
• Fold bottom point over and tuck under filling.
• Fold side corners over, forming an envelope.
• Fold over top corner and moisten point with a drop of water to seal.
• Fry in deep hot fat (400 degrees) for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve immediately with picante sauce for dipping.
• Left overs may be reheated in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

WON TONS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine mustard, soy sauce and wasabi until the wasabi has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate.
• Place cream cheese in a large bowl (preferably chilled metal). Mix in crab meat, onion, water chestnuts and parsley. Place one spoonful of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges closed. If the edges do not stick together, wet your fingertips lightly with water and pinch the ends together again (this will help to hold the won ton together).
• Heat oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, place won tons (approximately 6 at a time) into hot oil. Remove the won tons when they are golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel lined tray. Repeat this process until all won tons are fried. Serve with dipping sauce.
