Description
Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos are a quick and easy meal that’s bursting with flavor. Tender, juicy shredded chicken is nestled inside crispy wonton shells and topped with fresh cabbage, lime, and other delicious toppings for a satisfying and versatile dish.
Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 package wonton wrappers
– 2 cups shredded cabbage
– 1 lime, cut into wedges
– Sour cream (optional)
– Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. – In a large skillet, cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks.
2. – Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place wonton wrappers into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. – To assemble, place a spoonful of shredded chicken into each crispy wonton taco shell. Top with shredded cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and any other desired toppings like sour cream or hot sauce.
4. – Serve the Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos immediately, while the wonton shells are still warm and crispy.
Notes
For best results, fry the wonton wrappers just before assembling the tacos to ensure maximum crispiness. You can also bake the wonton shells at 400°F for 5-7 minutes for a healthier option. Experiment with different toppings like diced avocado, pico de gallo, or crumbled queso fresco.
