  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 tacos 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 wonton wrappers (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup chicken breast or thighs, finely chopped or minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)

Optional Toppings

  • Shredded cabbage
  • Sriracha mayo (sriracha mixed with mayonnaise)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Other optional toppings: pickled vegetables, mango salsa, shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: Finely chop or mince the chicken. In a bowl, mix the chicken with minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and finely chopped green onions. Stir well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Assemble the Tacos: Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the wrapper to form a taco shape and gently press the edges together to seal, ensuring no filling spills out during cooking.
  3. Fry to Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the assembled wonton tacos into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Add Your Favorite Toppings: Once cooled enough to handle, garnish the tacos with shredded cabbage, a drizzle of sriracha mayo, fresh cilantro, or any preferred toppings to complete the dish.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wonton wrappers to ensure they seal properly.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for crispy frying and to prevent sogginess.
  • Avoid excess liquid in the chicken filling to keep wonton shells crisp.
  • Use fresh or well-sealed frozen wonton wrappers for best crispiness.
  • Serve immediately after frying for optimal crunch.
