Ingredients

  • 60 wonton doughs to fry

  • 16 oz. Cheese (e.i. Gouda, Havarty, Monterrey Jack)

  • 2 egg whites

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

Directions

  • Cut the cheese in strips about 3/4 the length of each wonton sheet.
  • Put the cheese on one side of the wonton sheet, and start rolling the sheet around it, leaving a little edge unrolled. To close, wet your finger in the egg whites and pass it along the edge of the wonton sheet, and then finish rolling. Do the same to close the side ends, pressing with your fingers or a fork to make sure the dough sticks well.
  • You can do these first steps in advance, cover the uncooked “tequeños”, and leave the frying until the end, right before serving.
  • In medium/high heat the oil to a sizzle and put a few tequeños in the frying pan. Wait until they’re starting to brown on one side, and then turn and do the same on the other side. Place on a dish with a paper towel, which will absorb the excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Huancaina
