Crispy Baked Mexican Wontons
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp paprika powder optional
- 8 oz Crystal Farms® Marble Jack Cheese cut into large chunks
- 40 wonton wrappers
Serve with:
- Your favorite salsa
Instructions
- Preheat a large nonstick skillet. Add cooking oil and swirl around to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add garlic and saute for about 10 seconds. Crumble in the ground turkey, cook for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in cumin and paprika powder (if using). Add chunks of cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and let it cool down a little bit before wrapping
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray with some cooking spray. Prepare a small cup of water. Place 10 wonton wrappers on your working surface. Scoop about 2 tsp of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Brush the four edges of the wrapper with some water. Fold diagonally into half to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal. Place on the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the rest
If cooking in air fryer:
- Spray wontons with cooking spray and then place in air fryer in one layer, and cook at 375F for 5 minutes or until crispy or golden brown. You may need to do this in small batches to get good result

Your Baked Wontons look really tasty. (Personally, I refuse to deep fry anything…too messy!) I just spent about an hour browsing the Crystal Farms recipe pages. Wow! They have a lot of great ideas there too. I particularly like the Italian Egg Casserole (with mozzarella and parmesean) and the Slow Cooker Breakfast Stuffed Peppers (with marbled jack) recipes. I’m always looking for recipes for my book club brunches. (We always serve some variation of egg and cheese casserole because everyone loves that combo.) You must add your wontons recipe to their site!
I know right? They have lots of ideas there too! These baked wontons are very tasty and crispy!
Love all the Mexican flavors used in these wontons. They sound delicious!
Being from Djakarta, I’m so excited that I found your site and all the wonderful recipes! I’ll be trying them all out….
Hello There,
So glad that you stumble upon my site. I hope you like what you try. Please let know if you have a chance 🙂
I’m not surprised these disappeared in a hurry – I bet they would around my house, too! Especially love how you get that crispy texture even w/o frying!
I know. I love the fact that I don’t have to deep fry them yet they are so crispy
Wow! These look like the perfect appetizer to serve while entertaining. Love the fact that they are baked and not deep-fried too. I always think twice if I have to deep fry something.
