What You Will Need for Jalapeno Pumpkin Chia Seed Wontons:

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are a popular healthy ingredient right now in recipes popping up all over the internet. They deserve the popularity because they contain omega 3 and 6 fatty acids (great for vegetarians!), calcium, and soluble dietary fiber. According to the package of Chia seeds I have in my pantry, they are an Aztec superfood with a form of protein that is easily digestible. Many people add them to smoothies, salads, pudding, oatmeal, and muffins or bread recipes.

Pumpkin Seeds

I’ve always loved roasting pumpkin seeds after we carve pumpkins for Halloween each fall, a family favorite at my house! My family of five gobbles them all up within about 1-2 days. Pumpkin seeds are so delicious and roasting them is so much fun!

I love how they are available for purchase in the stores all year round too. We enjoy them as a snack to munch on. I use Good Sense® brand honey roasted pumpkin seeds for this recipe (or roasted and salted). They are a good source of protein and iron. A great snack or addition to a meal for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

Total Time 1 hr 32 mins
Course Appetizer
Cuisine American
Servings 12 people

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds Honey roasted, crushed
  • 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 42 wonton wraps I use the 12 oz package
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 jalapenos fresh, grated

Instructions
 

  • Grate fresh jalapenos using a cheese grater. This will make about 1/4 cup shredded jalapenos. Either keep the seeds or scoop them out depending on desired spiciness. Add jalapenos to cream cheese block in a bowl.
    Grate Jalapenos using a cheese grater
  • Measure out 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds.
  • Place pumpkin seeds in a small sealed bag. Zip to seal. Grab a kitchen mallet and pulverize pumpkin seeds to completely crush them.

  • Add crushed pumpkin seeds and 1 tablespoon chia seeds to cream cheese and grated jalapenos.
  • Stir and mash to mix together thoroughly.
  • Add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture to the center of each wonton wrap (I made about 5-6 wontons at a time). Brush all edges of wonton wrap with water and fold in half to make a triangle shape, press along edges to seal.
  • Brush both sides of wonton wrap with olive oil. Brush one side, flip over and brush the other side.
    brush both sides with olive oil
  • Fold in all three points of the triangle to make a pouch.
  • Cook on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 11-12 minutes until edges of wonton wrap are browned.

  • Serve Jalapeno Pumpkin and Chia Seed Wontons by placing them on a platter or plate. I love the sparkly charger plate for serving because it adds pizzazz and shine.

Notes

These wontons are delicious alone even without a dipping sauce. But if a dipping sauce is desired, try them out with sweet and sour sauce. The wontons are best fresh for the crispiness, but the next day they are just as yummy leftover (just become softer). Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
I hope you enjoy this recipe! For another yummy appetizer try my Cheddar Hashbrown Potato Jalapeno Bites Appetizer or my Spicy Black Bean Avocado Rollups and Dip.
