Desert Pepper Trading Co is hosting a Blogger Recipe Contest and I am so excited to share my first entry with you! What could be more perfect for your next game day (or any day, really) snack? Brisket and Queso in a crispy crunchy wonton wrapper with a cool and creamy jalapeno ranch dip on the side. Yes please!
Brisket & Queso Rangoon
with Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
1 large fresh jalapeno, chopped
½ cup cilantro leaves
2 green onions, chopped
½ cup bottled ranch dressing
8 ounces beef brisket, coarsely shredded
¾ cup Desert Pepper Chile Con
Queso
20 Wonton Wrappers
6 cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons BBQ Rub
Place the jalapeno, cilantro, green onions and ranch dressing in a small food processor or blender. Puree until smooth and place in the fridge to chill.
In a small mixing bowl stir together the brisket and Desert Pepper Chile Con Queso.
Working one at a time, use your finger and moisten the outer edges of a wonton wrapper with water. Add about 2 teaspoons of the brisket queso mixture in the center. Bring the 2 bottom points together in the middle of the wonton and pinch. Repeat with the other 2 corners and pinch to form a square bottom and pointed top. Lay on a cookie sheet and cover lightly with a clean damp kitchen towel while assembling the remaining wontons.
In an electric fryer or large high sided skillet fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the oil up to 375° over medium high heat.
Working in batches, fry the wontons for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle the fried wontons with the BBQ rub seasoning and allow to drain on a cooling rack placed in a cookie sheet. Serve with Creamy Jalapeno Sauce.
Makes 20 wontons.
