• For the wontons:
• 1 avocado, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white pepper

• 2-3 tablespoons water
• peanut oil, enough for frying
• Dipping Sauce
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1 large tomato
• 1 tablespoon sweetened lime juice

3. One by one, lay out a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the mixture in the center.
4. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water and fold into desired shape.
5. Cover with a damp dishcloth to avoid drying.
