Ingredients
  

Filling
  • ½ pound ground chicken Use fresh, high-quality chicken for the best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt levels.
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil This adds a beautiful nutty flavor—don't skip it!
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic Fresh garlic makes all the difference in taste.
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger Adds a zesty kick.
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage Napa cabbage is a great option here.
  • ½ cup shredded carrots For a touch of sweetness and color.
  • 3 pieces green onions, chopped These provide freshness.
  • 1 package wonton wrappers Find these in the refrigerated section.
Garnishes and Serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add ground chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  3. Cook the chicken mixture until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Keep an eye on any residual liquid; you want a nice dry filling.
  4. Add shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and green onions to the skillet. Mix well.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
Frying
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat for frying the wonton wrappers, aiming for about ½ inch of oil depth.
  2. Place a small spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto a wonton wrapper.
  3. Fold the wrapper in half to create a taco shape and press the edges to seal, using water on your fingers if needed.
  4. Fry the filled wonton wrappers in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd the pan!
  5. Remove tacos from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Repeat the filling and frying process with the remaining wrappers and chicken mixture.
Serving
  1. Serve the Asian Chicken Wonton Tacos with sweet chili sauce for dipping, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

These tacos are great with side options like jasmine rice or steamed broccoli. Customize with seasonal veggies for added freshness.
