Avocados — This fruit is a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Besides adding richness to the recipe, it also makes it nutritious and flavor-packed. Corn kernels — The crunchy corn makes the recipe more exciting and delectable. You can use fresh corn kernels or substitute them with frozen or canned ones. Black Beans — Adding black beans ensure more nutrition to the recipe. You can use fresh or canned black beans according to availability. Jalapenos — Added for that awesomely flavorsome hotness! Red Bell Pepper — These add more color and taste to the Corn and Avocado wonton cups. Oh yes, the crunch too! Black Pepper — A vibrantly delightful hotness that elevates the overall flavor of the recipe that comes from this spice. Cilantro — Chopped cilantro leaves are added for flavor and glamour! Cumin powder — A smoky-earthy flavor is brought by the roasted and powdered cumin that adds more deliciousness to the Avocado Wonton Bites.
Do not let the wonton wrappers dry out — Wonton wrappers tend to lose their moisture and dry out when exposed to air for a long time; therefore, always keep them covered with a lightly damp paper towel. Storing leftover wrappers — If you are left with some Wonton wrappers, store them in a freezer-safe bag, wrapped with a cling/ plastic sheet. It will prevent the sheets from drying out when stored. Caution when baking the Wonton wrapper — Wonton wrapper bakes pretty quickly, making it necessary to keep a watchful eye to prevent burning. They bake perfectly light golden in less than 10 minutes at 350° F. Avoid over-baking as they may get burnt. Cool the wrappers — Before filling them with the toppings, ensure they are completely cooled. Warm wontons will not make crispy cups and will compromise the delectability of the recipe.
Choosing the right avocados — Dark green colored Avocados with some wrinkles are best for this recipe as they are perfectly ripe. The dense and deep wrinkles mean the fruit is overripe and must be avoided. Another way to confirm the ripeness of the fruit is to press the fruit gently. If a small dent forms on pressing, the avocado is ideally ripe. A significant dent shows that the fruit is overly ripe. Keep the avocados fresh and green for longer — To keep the avocado and corn mix fresh until it is ready to be filled, sprinkle some lime juice all over the prepared mixture. Now cover it with saran wrap. Press the wrap directly onto the prepared mix. The wrap will prevent the air from coming in contact with the avocado surface and turn it brown. Therefore, the mixture can be preserved well, and the fruit can be kept fresh and green even if there is a delay in the filling process. Serve immediately — Any delay in serving may give time for the avocado to turn brown. However, please keep in mind that slight discoloration is normal. It doesn’t mean in any way that the fruit is spoiled. It happens because the avocado is exposed to the air. Other blissful variations — These crispy Wonton cups can be topped with any filling you choose. There are indeed endless possibilities for wonton cup recipes. Some of my favorite fillings include vegetarian fillings and Chicken fillings. Besides these, Taco filling, fruit salad, or any pudding topped with fresh fruits also make an awesomely delicious recipe that leaves the taste buds asking for more. Best way to serve — Serve while giving a creative edge to the recipe. You can set up a mini-DIY station/ bar, where guests can add their favorite toppings from the myriad combinations offered on the DIY station. They can create their customized appetizer to enjoy to the fullest!
