Instructions

Chicken Marinade:
In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with stir fry sauce, sesame ginger dressing, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. -
Prepare the Wonton Taco Shells:
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to at least 2 inches deep over medium-high heat (350°F or 175°C). Gently fold each wonton wrapper into a triangle shape, leaving the edges unsealed. Fry the wontons until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining wontons. -
Prepare the Coleslaw:
In a bowl, combine thinly sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and sesame ginger dressing. Mix thoroughly, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use. -
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked through and caramelized with the marinade, forming a savory glaze. -
Assemble the Tacos:
Place 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of the cooked chicken into each wonton shell. Top with the coleslaw mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chicken and coleslaw based on your desired taco filling.
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little extra sesame ginger dressing over the tacos before serving.
