Ingredients
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray both sides of wonton wrappers with cooking spray and drape each wrapper over the side of a baking dish or wire rack to form a taco shape.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove carefully and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and ginger. Stir to coat evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, lime juice, sugar, and salt. Toss until well mixed.
- To assemble, fill each wonton shell with a spoonful of chicken and top with slaw.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Air fry wonton shells at 350°F (175°C) for 4–5 minutes for an even crispier texture.
- Use grilled chicken or crispy chicken tenders for a heartier version.
- Add a drizzle of spicy mayo or sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately to maintain crispiness of the wonton shells.
