Cream Cheese and Avocado Wontons Recipe (2024)

Cream Cheese and Avocado Wontons Recipe (1)

Make sure to REPIN this recipe

I am finally back from NYC ( I was there for a baking contest) and it is SO nice to be able to cook again in the kitchen

I saw that the avocados at my local shop were super ripe and I wanted to make a dish that would be a bit different but easy to make – something that you could serve guest during the holiday season

I love making wontons – since you can buy the wonton wrappers at pretty much any store – it is near the salad section at my Walmart store

I fried these babies up – if you do not want to fry them that is okay – you can bake them – the packaging for the wonton wrappers should have all the directions

I decided to add some cheddar cheese to the recipe – because everything is better with cheese — it really helped

These wontons would be great to dip in soy sauce – the wontons are SUPER creamy – you have the cream cheese and avocados ( creamy) with the cheesiness from the cheese you really need something salty to cut all that so I say to use soy sauce as a dipping sauce and not something like ranch – but if you are a huge ranch fan totally free to use ranch if you want 🙂
