Firecracker Fajita Skins

Allergens

Dairy (cream cheese, shredded cheese) - Wheat (wonton wrappers)

Ingredients

• 8 large wonton wrappers
• 1 pound thinly sliced steak, or chicken breast
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning mix
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine sliced steak (or chicken), onion, bell pepper, garlic, and fajita seasoning mix. Toss well to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the seasoned meat mixture and cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender, about 5 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded cheese. Mix well to combine.
4. To assemble, lay out wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each wrapper.
5. Top the cream cheese with a generous scoop of the cooked fajita meat mixture.
6. Fold the wonton wrappers in half diagonally, enclosing the filling and sealing the edges by lightly pressing them together.
7. In a large non stick skillet or griddle, cook the wonton wrapped appetizers over medium heat for 2 3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
