2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup water
22 wonton wrappers

Scrub sweet potato and pierce with a fork; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 12-14 minutes or until tender, turning once. Cool. Slit potato and scoop pulp into a small bowl. Mash pulp; stir in the onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, cumin, jalapeno and garlic.
Lightly brush water over all four edges of one wonton wrapper.(Keep wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Spread 1 tablespoon filling along one edge of wrapper; roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly spray wraps with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with salsa. Yield: 22 appetizers.
