Guacamole Wontons Recipe: Turning a favorite appetizer, crab rangoons, into a dynamite recipe with a combination of guacamole, cream cheese, and spices.
I don’t know if I’ve been hiding under a rock, or if Avocado (or guacamole) Wontons are a new thing to hit restaurants.
But after having them one night at a local pub, I was determined to find a guacamole wontons recipe to fix for my family. But to my dismay… I couldn’t find one online! So… it was time to get creative and come up with my own recipe, and YUM!!!
Avocado Wontons
Please keep in mind, it all depends on how many wontons you want to make. The ingredients below, are for about a 2 person serving. This made about 10 guacamole wontons, but we had tons of wonton wrappers leftover from the package, so you can double, triple, quadruple this batch if you like!
Different ways to use avocados
You know when you grab a bag of avocados from the store with the intentions of eating them all before they get too ripe? Well, if you don’t play it just right, time can run out and you’re left with a bag of avocados that you need to eat up quickly! See my tips on how to keep avocados fresh.
So making a batch of these wontons is one of my favorite ways… or, I’m also a BIG fan of avocado toast recipes and love having it for breakfast!
The BEST Guacamole Recipe:
For this recipe, we LOVE using this delicious guacamole recipe that has been pinned close to 100,000 times on Pinterest. Yes really… it is the best! But if you’re pressed for time or don’t have the ingredients on hand you can use store-bought guac or even just mashed avocado!
How to Fold a Wonton:
There are a few different ways to fold a wonton. No matter which way you do it… just make sure the filling is secure inside, by closing all of the edges.
This is one way you could fold a wonton:
Put a small amount of the filling in the bottom-center (in the corner) of your wonton. (Image below.)
Fold the bottom corner over the guacamole mixture, and press on to the center.
Grab the bottom right corner and fold that towards the center as well.
Same with the bottom left corner, fold towards the center.
After folded:
One by one, add a wonton to the heated oil. Fry on each side for about 15 minutes or until it reaches an overall golden brown color.
Sauce for Wontons
You can eat guacamole wontons by themself or you can dip them in a sauce for some extra flavor! Sauces like:
- sweet chili sauce (images below)
- soy sauce
- jalapeno ranch dressing
- yum yum sauce
- teriyaki sauce
Dip in sauce if desired Sweet chili sauce

If you love fun appetizers like this one, then you’ll also love easy taco dip, pico de gallo, and chips and salsa, especially if you’re hosting a party so guests can snack on these fun dishes all night!
Avocado Wontons
Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup guacamole or mashed avocado – I used store bought to save some time
- 1 Tablespoon cream cheese
- 2 cups oil for frying
- sweet chili sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Heat enough oil in a deep skillet or pan, {about an inch deep} over medium-high heat.
- Mix together the guacamole and cream cheese until blended.
- Lay out a wonton wrapper, and put about a teaspoon of the guacamole mixture on to one corner of a wonton.
- Fold your wonton: There are many ways you can do this, and feel free to fold as you like, but you can see in the steps above how I folded it, and it worked great!
- Add your wrapped wontons to the heated oil, and fry for about 15 seconds on each side, or until the wontons become a nice golden brown.
- Remove from oil, and lay wontons on a plate, that is covered with a paper towel to soak up any remaining oil. Serve immediately, with sweet chili sauce for dipping (optional).

Mindie says
Is the sweet chili sauce available in stores, or did you make it? I use chili garlic sauce a lot, I am wondering if it’s like that but mixed with honey or brown sugar.
Jessica says
I DID buy it in the store!!! I bet you’re right, and that’s it’s probably similar! But my husband said even with the store bought kind, he’d love it if I’d add a little sugar or honey to sweeten it up just a little more!
Steph says
