Description

Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos blend the savory flavors of marinated chicken with the crunch of fried wonton wrappers, topped with fresh vegetables and creamy sauces. A fusion dish that brings together the best of Asian and Mexican cuisines for a delightful eating experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Marinade: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced onions, shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • Sauces: sour cream, guacamole, salsa
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine chicken with marinade ingredients and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Fry the Wonton Wrappers: Heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry each wrapper until golden and crispy, then drain.
  3. Cook the Chicken: In a pan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Place lettuce and tomatoes on each wonton shell, top with chicken, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, bake the wonton wrappers at 375°F until crisp and use an air fryer for the chicken.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings and sauces.
