Description
A delightful fusion of flavors, these Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos feature juicy chicken wrapped in a crispy wonton shell.
Ingredients
- Wonton Wrappers
- Ground Chicken
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Cumin
- Chili Powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Oil (for frying)
- Toppings (shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream, salsa)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the ground chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir for another 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the Wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about a tablespoon-sized portion of the chicken mix in the center. Fold to form a triangle and press the edges tightly.
- Fry to Crispy Perfection: Heat oil in a large pot until it reaches about 350°F (180°C). Carefully drop the wontons into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve It Up: Arrange the tacos on a platter and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and avocado. Drizzle with sour cream or salsa.
Notes
Wonton wrappers can be replaced with corn tortillas for a different flavor. Consider trying variations like buffalo chicken or barbecue chicken for a twist!
