Barb's Firecrackers image

I needed something to bring to my niece's 4th of July party. I wanted something portable, simple to make, and of course really tasty! I love Mexican food so this recipe in inspired from south of the border, yet created in New England. You can adjust the heat on the recipe by using a hotter or milder taco seasoning.

Time 1h20m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (16 ounce) cans refried beans
2 envelopes taco seasoning mix (such as McCormick® Original)
1 (16 ounce) container soft cream cheese
2 (7 ounce) containers prepared guacamole
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas, or as needed
72 paper cupcake liners in different colors
2 fresh red chile peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips - or as needed
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Stir refried beans and taco seasoning mix together in a bowl. Place soft cream cheese in a separate bowl and stir until the cream cheese is workable; thoroughly mix in the prepared guacamole.
  • Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spread with 1/2 cup of bean mixture in a smooth, even layer; top with 1/2 cup of guacamole mix in a layer. Roll up the tortilla into a log and moisten the far edge with a little water to seal. Wrap rolled tortillas tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour to overnight.
  • To serve, unwrap the rolls and trim off the uneven edges of each roll; cut into 1-inch pieces. Place a piece into each cupcake paper and insert a red pepper strip into the end for a wick. Sprinkle appetizers with chopped green onion.

I've made these firecrackers with both ground beef and ground turkey and they were both delicious. I also like to add a little bit of shredded cheese to the filling.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my firecrackers turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These firecrackers were a huge disappointment. The filling was dry and the wontons were soggy.

I thought these firecrackers were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the wontons were not very crispy.

These firecrackers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of wontons, but I'm so glad I did! These firecrackers were amazing. The filling was flavorful and the wontons were crispy.
