Instructions
Make the Garlicky Avocado Dip
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired consistency. Add the minced garlic, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
Assemble the Tequeños
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Lightly brush the edges with the beaten egg.
Fill and Roll
Place a stick of cheese near one edge of the wrapper. Tightly roll the wrapper around the cheese, like a small spring roll. Press the edges to seal firmly, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and cheese.
Fry the Tequeños
In a large skillet or deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully place a few tequeños into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook to Golden Perfection
Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Drain and Serve
Remove the cooked tequeños with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately while hot, alongside the cool and creamy garlicky avocado dip.
