Sometimes you just need a new sort of side dish or snack, or even to take an old favorite and mesh it together with another to come up with something new and different. That’s where these Jalapeno Popper Air Fryer Wontons came in. I decided to keep it simple one night this week with a spiced up homemade tomato soup, and wanted something fun and exciting to pair with it.

My first thought was jalapeño poppers, but I wanted something that I could dip into the soup too if I wanted, sort of how you do with tomato soup and grilled cheese or crackers! So, I settled on these Jalapeno Popper Air Fryer Wontons which are basically jalapeño poppers inside a wonton wrapper to make them perfect for dipping and dunking!

These tasty little things are super easy to make and are really good for a snack, a side dish, an appetizer, or even as part of a meal like I did. No matter in which way, you’ll definitely enjoy them. Now, I chose to remove the stem and seeds from my jalapeño just because you never know how hot they’ll be, but if you aren’t scared of the heat then you can for sure leave that in your jalapeño.

I lightened these up by using a low sodium center cut bacon along with fat free cheeses, but you definitely don’t have to do either of those things if you aren’t watching the calorie count.
