Steps:
- To prepare the wontons, heat 1 tsp of the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Place the ground beef into the pan, sprinkle with the salt, and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan, drain any excess fat, and place into a bowl. Set aside. Add the other tsp of oil to the pan, and then add the onions, peppers, and chilies, and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Place the meat back into the pan with the cooked vegetables, and then add the enchilada sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes, or until the sauce is fully absorbed. Scoop the mixture into a bowl. Refrigerate until completely cooled. To assemble the wontons, brush the edges of each wrapper with water, and one by one, place 1 Tbsp of the meat filling into each. Fold the wonton in half to form a triangle and seal the edges. Brush the tips of the triangles with a little more water to join them together, and press to bind. Freeze the stuffed wontons until you're ready to fry. Preheat a deep fryer to 350°F. Place the wontons into the deep fryer in batches and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown. To prepare the cheese sauce, place the petite diced tomatoes and chopped chilies into a 3-qt sauce pot and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the chopped Velveeta cheese, enchilada sauce, and beer and cook, constantly stirring, until the cheese is completely melted. Place the dip into a warm serving vessel and serve.
Tips:
- For a vegetarian filling, omit the ground beef and add more vegetables, such as diced bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini.
- To make the wontons ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months.
- For a crispier wonton, pan-fry them in a little oil until golden brown.
- Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings and toppings. Some other ideas include:
- Cream cheese and crab wontons
- Shrimp and avocado wontons
- Chicken and black bean wontons
- Vegetable and tofu wontons
