Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 1 package Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 large, beaten Egg
• 4 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup (for dipping, optional) Sour cream
• 0.5 cup (for dipping, optional) Salsa

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix until combined and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once the filling has cooled, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro.

Step 5

Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg and fold into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat (350°F or 175°C). Carefully fry the wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the wontons warm with sour cream and salsa for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
