Guacamole makes everything better.
...Right?
If you haven't noticed, I've been a little avocado obsessed lately. And these guacamole wonton bites are no exception. While playing around with wonton wrappers the past couple of weeks, I thought it would be fun to stuff them with something other than the usual. So, I decided to do a little bit of fusion.
I have come to find that wonton skins are the perfect vehicle. They are light and crispy... sort of like a tortilla or a chip, but much more versatile. These handheld little bites of awesome are full of flavor, and it all starts out with a super simple homemade guacamole.
Of course, the guacamole has to be the star of the show. So I kept it rather simple with just avocados, a couple of fresh vegetables, and some seasonings. This is an easy appetizer that is sure to impress and is nearly as fool-proof as you can get.
Mix, fill, bake, enjoy!
These were good enough for me to make a meal out of. Seriously. I ate them for dinner along side some sautéed vegetables and had an easy meatless meal in no time at all.
I was naturally inclined to dip these in a little bit of queso and some added hot sauce. Just because... that's what you do with guacamole anything!
As you can see, my bites opened up a bit during the baking process, even with how well I had them pinched together. So a different sort of fold might be best. Hind-sight is 20/20, you know.
