 When I'm tired of everything I usually make and craving something different I love to make these chicken wonton tacos. They're fresh, flavorful, and easy to make as well. They're also a great appetizer for parties. Serve with Asian Lettuce Wraps, bourbon chicken, or crab rangoon to make it a meal.

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

ingredients including cooked chicken, Asian dressing, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, coleslaw, and wonton wrappers.
  • Stir Fry Sauce: I like Kikkoman as its flavorful but not overly sweet.
  • Sesame Vinaigrette: Ken's is my go to Sesame dressing.
  • Teriyaki Sauce: I like Kikkoman's the best.
  • Cilantro: If you're not a fan, you can replace with parsley or leave it out altogether.
  • Cooked Chicken: Grilled, poached, or rotisserie would all work well here.
  • Shredded Cabbage: You can also grab a bagged coleslaw mix from the store if you'd like.
  • Wonton Wrappers: Look for these in the produce section of your local grocery store near the Tofu.

Krystle's Tips

  1. Don’t Overbake: Remove the shells when they're just just crispy. If they're overcooked they can be brittle and break.
  2. Add Slaw Right Before Serving: This prevents things from getting soggy.
