Crispy wonton wrappers packed with savory Mexican flavors are an easy finger food snack for your next get-together. 
Quesadillas are always a crowd-pleaser. Who doesn’t love them!?
When turned into crunchy little handheld bites stuffed with so much goodness, they’ll be your new go-to finger food favorite.
At first bite, you’ll enjoy the crispy, lightly fried, golden brown wonton. Then you’ll get to savor the creamy cheese and refried bean center that gets a flavor boost from Mexican spices, fresh cilantro, and sliced scallions.
They take just minutes to throw together, proving that you don’t need to fuss to feed a crowd. We love them as a game day snack when we are cheering on our favorite team. “H2P!” 
Served with a side of salsa and sour cream, you should plan on making a few batches of these because they’ll get devoured quickly. I think the best bite is the one where the cheese and black beans have oozed out and crisped up from the hot skillet. 
Kids and adults love them! They can be customized with any filling you like and even enjoyed as an incredibly easy and fun weeknight dinner.
Whip up my chunky guacamole to go with these. And for an evening happy hour, pair these with a Mexican Mule or a fresh spicy Paloma.
Enjoy!
