Srirachi Chorizo Wontons


 Chorizo sausage is so good. It's cheap, and can be found in any grocery store, normally by the sour cream, and tortillas. These are a little time consuming, closing up all the wonton wrappers, but cook in just minutes. They could easily be assembled ahead of time, and fryed when your ready for them. 

1 cup ground chorizo 
1/2 cup crumbled cojito cheese
1/2 cup cooked corn
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
4 tbs Srirach sauce
Garlic Powder
1 package premade wonton wrappers
Salt 
Pepper
Dash of Cayenne Pepper

Combine all ingredients until well combined. 


To crumble the cojito cheese, I broke into small blocks and ran it through the food processor until it was the consistency of fine crumbles. Cojito cheese can also be found by the sour cream in your grocery store. ( Its the same kind of cheese, the delicious white queso is made from) which by the way, would make a delicious dip for these wontons! But today we are making these spicy, so a srirachi glaze will top these fried wontons. 

 To assemble, simply lay about a Tbs of filling on the wonton wrapper.
 
 Fold the wrapper over, pinch the edges together, and seal with a light egg white wash.  Bam, it's that simple, a little time consuming, but all in all, pretty easy. 

 Now heat a saucepan of vegtable oil, and fry for about a minute and a half until the shells are golden brown, and crispy. Let cool on a paper towl to drain the excess oil. 

For the glaze, I used a store bought sweet thi chili glaze, and added srirachi to it to heat it up quite a bit. But dipping these in a spicy ranch, queso, or salsa would be equally as delicious. 


 Don't bite into one right away, ya might burn your tounge off!
