  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 wonton tacos

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce

Wonton Tacos

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced green onions
  • Additional cabbage
  • Cilantro
  • Sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes each side, ensuring the internal temperature hits 165°F. Remove from skillet and let cool before shredding with two forks.
  2. Combine filling ingredients: Return shredded chicken to the skillet. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, shredded cabbage, and shredded carrots. Stir everything together and cook for 1 minute to meld flavors.
  3. Add hoisin sauce: Pour in the hoisin sauce and stir well to evenly coat the chicken and vegetable mixture. Remove the skillet from heat to prevent further cooking.
  4. Fill wonton wrappers: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
  5. Fold wonton tacos: Fold each wrapper diagonally to form a taco shape; no need to seal or press the edges together.
  6. Heat oil for frying: In a separate pan, heat about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Fry wonton tacos: Carefully place the filled wontons in the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side and on the fold, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve: Serve the crispy wonton tacos immediately with optional toppings such as sliced green onions, extra cabbage, cilantro, or a drizzle of sriracha sauce.

Notes

  • Shred the chicken while still warm for easier shredding.
  • Do not seal the edges of the wonton tacos; the filling stays inside during frying.
  • Monitor the oil temperature to avoid burning; medium-high heat is ideal.
  • Use fresh vegetables for best flavor and crunch.
  • These can be customized with other proteins or vegetarian fillings as desired.
