We were having tacos for dinner, had wonton wrappers in the fridge, and thought why not? It was a big hit! Nice way to change up taco night. Can be served as a meal with refried beans and Mexican rice. Or great as an appetizer.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These fried wonton tacos are a tasty twist for taco night and would make great game-day snacks. When fried, the outside is nice and crunchy. Inside they're filled with flavorful taco meat and gooey cheese. They were good on their own and served with taco toppings. We also really enjoyed them dipped into a bit of chipotle ranch dressing.

How To Make fried wonton tacos

Test Kitchen Tips

We did have extra meat. If you want to make about 24 wontons, grab extra wrappers and cheese.

Step 1

In a skillet, brown hamburger until no longer pink. Drain. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water; let simmer. Chop all veggies,and set aside.

Step 2

Fill wonton wrappers with 1 Tbsp hamburger meat. Sprinkle with cheese.
Step 3

Run a little water around the edges of the wrapper.
Step 4

Fold over into a triangle and seal the edges.
Step 5

Repeat filling all wonton wrappers.
Step 6

In a medium skillet, heat oil on medium heat to 375 degrees F. Add wontons and brown on each side until golden brown; about 2 minutes on each side.
Step 7

Remove from the skillet once golden and crispy. Place on paper towels to absorb any grease.
