Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spray the parchment liberally with cooking spray.
Pit the avocados and scoop them into a bowl. Add the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and salt. Mash all ingredients together, being sure to leave some chunkier pieces of avocado.
Lay out your wrappers on some parchment. Scoop about a teaspoon of your avocado mixture into the center of the wonton wrapper.
Brush the exposed parts of the wrapper with water and then fold into a hamantaschen shape, however, instead of pinching the corners, overlap them so that one edge of each side is tucked under and the other is overlapping (this keeps it from opening up).
Place your hamantashen on your prepared baking sheet and spray the tops liberally with cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes until brown and crispy.
Prepare the Cashew Tamarind Dipping Sauce
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the vinegars, honey and tamarind and microwave for one minute.
In a blender, puree the mixture with the cashews, cilantro, garlic, scallions, sugar, pepper, cumin and turmeric until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, then whisk in olive oil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. When ready to serve, drizzle on top of hamantashen or serve as a dipping sauce.
