how to make avocado wontons

wontons are really easy to make and delicious, too! pick up a pack of wrappers at the grocery and get creative.
i made these avocado wontons the other night and they were an instant hit!
you will need:
1 ripe hass avocado, lightly mashed
crushed garlic to taste
1" grated fresh ginger
lemon or lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
2 tablespoons italian parsley, basil or cilantro, chopped
dried chipotle powder or a few shakes of hot sauce to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 ounces goat cheese
salt and pepper to taste


combine all of the ingredients above in a small bowl.
layout 20 or more wonton wrappers on a board. brush each wrapper with a whisked mixture of egg thinned with a little soy sauce. place a slightly heaping teaspoon of the avocado-goat cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper, fold diagonally and press to seal. cook wontons in hot oil ( i used olive oil with a little sesame oil) until golden on each side. serve with duck sauce.
