For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your preference.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the wontons from becoming greasy.
Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy wontons.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or a sweet chili sauce.
