Wonton Pockets

It's Friday so I created a new vegetarian dish! #vegetarianfridays. I had wonton wrappers but wanted to make something similar to a burrito or taco... This is similar but only a little :P   Also if you don't follow me on twitter, sometimes I post little mini meal ideas. https://twitter.com/Galley_Cooking   :) So here is the recipe and a picture. (note... This recipe is better used as a side dish with like chilli or taco soup)



Ingredients
1 1/2 cup cooked white rice
1 cup cooked black beans... or canned (make sure to drain those and rinse them off)
1 cup sauteed peppers and onions (I sauteed mine in garlic olive oil and salt)
about 30 wonton wrappers depending on how many people you want to feed

Instructions

 Mix together rice, beans, and veggies.  swipe all four edges of the wonton wrappers with water and put a teaspoon or 1 and 1/2 tsp of the rice mixture in  in the middle pulling together the edges of the wrapper into a triangular shape pressing the edges firmly to close. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat on stove. then fry the wontons until golden brown on both sides.serve with your favorite salsa!  voila'!
