Servings: 8
Ingredients
Wonton Chips
- Vegetable oil, for frying (4 cups)
- 12 ounces wonton wrappers cut into triangles
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 pound ground pork
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 - 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Sriracha aioli
Instructions
- Add canola oil to a deep fryer and heat to 350°F.
- Working in batches, add wonton wrappers to the hot oil and fry until puffed up and golden brown (about 1 - 2 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Make pork by adding 2 tablespoons of oil to a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Lower temp to medium-high heat, and add ground pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook pork, breaking it up into smaller pieces, and until browned (about 8–10 minutes.) Add lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar and cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced and glazes pork, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Arrange half of the wonton chips on a foil-lined 11x15” baking sheet. Top with half the cheese, then half of the pork. Repeat the layers with remaining wonton chips, pork, and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
- While the nachos are baking, toss cabbage and cilantro with the vinegar and sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve nachos topped with cabbage mixture and drizzle on sriracha aioli.
