Ingredients

Scale

For the Wonton Shells

  • Wonton wrappers (as needed, approx. 12-16)
  • Oil for frying (optional, if frying instead of baking)

For the Chicken Filling

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced

Toppings and Garnishes

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or prepared slaw mix
  • Sriracha or sweet chili sauce, for drizzling (to taste)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Fresh lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wonton Shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently press each wonton wrapper into a mini muffin tin cup, shaping them into small taco shells. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, fry the wrappers quickly in hot oil for extra crunch, then drain on paper towels.
  2. Cook the Chicken Filling: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until no longer pink. Stir in soy sauce and sliced scallions, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon a generous portion of the warm chicken filling into each crispy wonton shell. Top with shredded cabbage or slaw mix. Drizzle with sriracha or sweet chili sauce to your desired heat level.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately while the shells remain crispy and the filling warm. Garnish with chopped cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh lime wedges if desired for added brightness and flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wonton shells to prevent breakage.
  • Adjust chili sauce quantity to suit your spice preference.
  • Wonton shells can be baked ahead and stored airtight to maintain crispness.
  • Use fresh garlic, ginger, and scallions for enhanced flavor.
  • Combine crunchy veggies with tender chicken for a balanced texture.
