Description

Crispy wonton shells filled with savory chicken, topped with fresh veggies and a tangy sauce—an Asian fusion twist on tacos.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and ginger. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and is fully cooked.
  3. To make the wonton shells, heat vegetable oil in a pan. Fry the wonton wrappers one at a time for about 1-2 minutes or until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, sriracha sauce, and lime juice to create the sauce.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Fill each fried wonton shell with the chicken mixture, then top with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, and a drizzle of the spicy sour cream sauce.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add some crispy wonton strips on top of the tacos.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce to suit your spice preference.
  • To make the recipe lighter, you can bake the wonton wrappers instead of frying them.
