We’ve all the had the traditional guacamole a million times (which will always hold a special place in my heart), but today I present to you, Guacamole 2.0. Goat Cheese Guacamole with Crispy Baked Wontons is the perfect party appetizer!
Anytime I get in the proximity of avocados or guacamole I completely lose my mind.
We are changing it up with goat cheese, red onions, cumin, lime, and capers too. Capers add such a burst of flavor to avocados so please give them a try!!!
But the real kicker here is the crispy baked wonton skins. The crispness of baked wontons is the perfect vessel for a party-in-the-palm-of-your-hand appetizer.
When you place a huge dollop of this goat cheese guacamole on top of a crispy wonton skin, you get 3-4 big bites of crunch and creamy guacamole in one serving. So no need to worry about the dreaded double dipper.
Can you prep any of this recipe in advance?
The wontons stay nice and crisp, so as long as you top them with guacamole no sooner than 20 minutes before serving, you are good to go.
If you need to travel with these fun party apps, pack the wontons and guacamole separately and assemble when you have reached your destination.
Make sure to keep one of the avocado pits in the bowl to keep the guacamole fresh. I like to pack the guacamole in a plastic or glass food storage container and cover the skin directly with plastic wrap, then seal with the top.
A LOW CARB VERSION
For guests that aren’t eating carbs or sugar or wheat or they are attempting to live off of air and sunshine alone, use sliced cucumbers or radishes instead of wonton skins. Yep, you will be the hostess with the mostest with this backup plan!

Instructions

- Fold in the red onion and capers. Add a little of the caper juice as well.
- Top the guacamole on the wonton skins and serve.
