Wonton Poppers Ole!

These zesty poppers were tweaked from a recipe found awhile ago on the web, but I can't remember the site. If you want, you can use mixed shredded cheeses or another cheese entirely if you don't like Monterey Jack.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
