  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 3 leeks, white and light green parts, finely diced

Garnishes
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced

Cook beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes, until cooked through, breaking it into clumps as it cooks. Transfer to a large bowl.

In the same skillet, heat margarine and oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook for 1 minute. Stir in leeks and spices. Cook for 8–10 minutes, until tender.

Add the leek mixture to the beef. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Place a heaping tsp of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water. Fold opposite corners over the filling and press to seal, forming a triangle. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture and wonton wrappers.
