These jalapeño wonton bites are so easy to make and perfect for a game day appetizer! The best part is that they contain ingredients that are easily accessible and budget friendly. Additionally, this appetizer is also high protein and low fat!
What’s In the Jalapeño Bites?
- Tofu
- Pickled jalapeños
- Nutritional yeast and adobo seasoning
- Wonton wrappers
How to Make Jalapeño Bites
- Blend all of your ingredients into a food processor. The firm tofu is nice and soft and blends super easily. The pickled jalapeños mixed with the nutritional yeast and adobo seasoning give these bites a cheesy flavor without needing to use vegan cheese substitutes.
- Place the tofu mixture into the wonton wrappers and close them together using water.
- Pop them in the air fryer for 15 minutes!
How to Serve
I love to serve these with a simple salsa, but you can use any dipping sauce that you enjoy. Queso, spicy mayo, and ranch are all great options. Enjoy!
