Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
1 tablespoon Ranch dressing mix
4 jalapeno peppers seeded, minced
2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoon onion minced
1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped
12 ounces Wonton wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
Ranch dressing for serving
Sweet chili sauce for serving

Instructions

Combine all but the wrappers and oil in a large bowl.
Working in batches, place a wonton wrapper in front of with one corner pointing towards you (in other words, diamond shaped).
Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Dip a finger in water and run it along all 4 edges off the wonton then fold the bottom corner over the filling and to the top corner. Gently press down on the wrapper to remove any air then press along the edges to seal.
Heat a deep fryer filled with oil to 350 F.
Working in batches, fry the wonton for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to drain and cool.
Serve immediately with sauces for dipping.

Notes

You can assemble the wontons well in advance and refrigerate until ready to fry. Leftovers (lol, if there are any) can be reheated in the oven and will retain most of their crunchiness.
