Southwestern Appetizer Triangles

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa
1 can (4 ounces) diced jalapeno peppers, drained
2 packages (12 ounces each) wonton wrappers
Oil for deep-fat frying
Additional salsa

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, onion, salt and pepper until
meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the beans, cheese, salsa and jalapenos. Cook
and stir over low heat until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; cool for
10 minutes. Place a teaspoonful of beef mixture in the center of one wonton
wrapper. Moisten edges with water. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp
paper towel until ready to use.) Fold wontons in half, forming a triangle.
Repeat. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 in. of oil to
375°. Fry wontons, a few at a time, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with salsa.
