Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup stir fry sauce
  • ¼ cup sesame ginger dressing
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and fully cooked.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together stir fry sauce, sesame ginger dressing, and brown sugar. Pour over the cooked chicken and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Using tongs, carefully shape each wonton wrapper into a taco shape while frying until golden and crisp, about 1 minute per shell. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Fill each wonton taco shell with the chicken mixture. Top with shredded cabbage and carrots.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch!

Notes

  • Use an upside-down muffin tin to help shape wonton wrappers into taco shells in the oven for a baked version.
  • Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for variation.
  • For extra heat, add Sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce.
