Ranch seasoning
Cream cheese, softened
Wonton wrappers
Fresh jalapeños, sliced

Make Jalapeño Popper Wontons

To make this easy and delicious recipe, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and gather all of your ingredients.

Next, add the wonton wrappers to two 12 count nonstick muffin tins and bake for about 5 minutes or until they start to get crispy and hold their shape.

While the wonton wraps are crisping up make the filling in a large bowl.

Combine 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese, 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeños, 8 strips of crumbled bacon, 1 Tbsp. ranch seasoning, and 8 ounces softened cream cheese.

Stir everything together well and remove muffin tins from the oven.

Next, use two spoons to scoop the cheesy jalapeño mixture evenly into the partially baked wonton cups. Add a sliced fresh jalapeño on top of each one.

Bake at 375 degrees F for about 10 minutes.

I was able to get about 24 wonton cups out of this, but you could fill them a little less full and make even more!

Serve Jalapeño Popper Wontons

Once the cheese is melted and the wonton cups are nice and brown, it’s time to eat!

These make the best easy appetizer perfect for appetizer night, game day, or any of the holiday parties coming up!

I like to serve these with a couple of my other favorite appetizers! Crockpot Cranberry Meatballs, Spinach and Artichoke Dip, and Crockpot Sausage Cheese Dip won’t disappoint!

This makes about 24 loaded wontons depending on how much filling is used. These have been a family favorite for years!

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in an oven or air fryer just until they are hot.
