Instructions
Make the dipping sauce:
- Whisk together all ingredients and set aside.
Make the filling:
- Add the corn, onion, garlic, roasted bell pepper, tomatoes, scallions, lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Toss to combine.
- Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to overmix.
Assemble the wontons:
- Place 1-2 tsp. onto each wonton wrapper.
- Gently fold over to close.
- Dip fingers in water and gently press along wrapper edge to seal.
- Continue to make all wontons.
To bake:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until crisp
To fry:
- Heat 1 cup oil to 375 degrees F. If you don't have a thermometer, the oil is ready when a 1-inch cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 60 seconds.
- Place the wontons, 2-3 at a time, in the oil and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove and place on paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Enjoy and serve with dipping sauce.
* Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
