Yield: Makes 40 appetizers
Ingredients:
Salsa (recipe follows)

1/4
pound bulk hot Italian pork sausage

1
cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1
can (4 ounces) diced mild green chiles, drained

2
tablespoons finely chopped green onion

40
wonton wrappers

1
quart vegetable oil for deep frying



Preparation:
1.
Prepare Salsa; set aside and keep warm. Brown sausage in small skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring to separate meat. Drain off drippings.

Combine sausage, cheese, chilies and onion in medium bowl. Spoon 1 round teaspoon sausage mixture near 1 corner of wonton wrapper. Brush opposite corner with water. Fold corner over filling; roll into cylinder.

3.
Moisten ends of roll with water. Bring ends together to make a "bundle," overlapping ends slightly; firmly press to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
