    1. Heat up frying oil to 350 degrees.

    2. With a small bowl of water, begin to build the wontons: Slightly wet the edges of the wonton wrappers. Wrap a ham strip around the cheddar bite and rest in the middle of the wonton. Next, fold one corner up over the ham wrapped cheese to the opposite corner and press tightly. To close, take your thumb and pointer finger and press the edges together, closing up the center of the wonton.

    3. Looking at the wonton like a pyramid, dip your fingers in your water bowl and connect the two bottom corners together (pinch well). This will look like a tortellini.

    4. Now drop into fryer and fry for 2.5 minutes.

    5. Remove from fryer and toss in Spiceology Black Magic in a mixing bowl.

    6. Plate the wontons and stick a toothpick in each one attaching the pickle slice to the wonton.

    7. Drizzle the crema over the wontons and serve.
