Tequeños with Avocado Crema

Ingredients

• 24 wrappers Wonton wrappers
• 1 cup Vegan mozzarella shreds
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tbsp Plant-based milk
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/8 tsp Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place 1 cup of vegan mozzarella shreds onto the center of each of the 24 wonton wrappers.
2. 2Fold each wonton wrapper in half to create a triangle, then bring the two bottom corners together and press to seal, forming a small package. You can use a tiny bit of water on the edges if they don't stick.
3. 3Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Carefully add the wrapped tequeños to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
5. 5Using a slotted spoon, remove the tequeños from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them cool slightly.
6. 6While the tequeños are cooling, combine the 1 medium avocado, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/4 cup of cilantro, 1 clove of garlic, 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper in a blender.
7. 7Blend the avocado mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. This is your avocado crema.
8. 8Serve the warm tequeños immediately with the avocado crema for dipping.
