Directions

  • First cut the cheese in strips about 1 to 1.5 cm thick and 3/4 of the length of the wonton sheets long.
  • With a brush or spatula, brush the wonton with the water, this will help to close and it will not fall apart while frying.
  • Then put a slice of cheese on one side of a wonton sheet and roll until closed. Crimp the side ends with your fingers or fork making sure the tequeños are sealed well.
  • Fill a high pan with about 2 cm of oil. Heat to 180°C. Fry the Peruvian tequeños from both sides until lightly golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with Peruvian guacamole sauce
