Ingredients

For the Crispy Chicken

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Oil for frying

For the Wonton Taco Shells

  • 16 wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray or oil

For the Asian Taco Slaw

  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Garnishes

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sriracha drizzle
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Prepare the Slaw

In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, and green onions. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, mayonnaise, and salt. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss well. Refrigerate while preparing other components.

2. Form the Wonton Taco Shells

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray wonton wrappers with cooking spray. Gently drape them over the bars of an oven rack to create a taco shape. Bake for 7–9 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove and cool.

3. Bread the Chicken

Season flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dip chicken strips in flour, then beaten eggs, then panko breadcrumbs.

4. Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken strips in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

5. Assemble the Tacos

Place crispy chicken strips inside each wonton shell. Top generously with Asian taco slaw.

6. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle sesame seeds and drizzle sriracha if desired. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.


Tips for Perfect Homemade Wonton Tacos

Keep Shells Crisp

Allow wonton shells to cool completely before filling to maintain crunch.

Don’t Overcrowd When Frying

Cooking chicken in small batches ensures even crisping.

Balance the Slaw

Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity depending on preference.


Air Fryer Option

For a lighter version:

  • Air fry breaded chicken at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Lightly spray wonton wrappers and air fry in taco shape for 4–5 minutes.

This method reduces oil while still delivering crisp texture.


Flavor Variations

Spicy Korean-Inspired

Add gochujang to the slaw dressing.

Sweet Chili Twist

Toss chicken in sweet chili sauce before assembling.

Teriyaki Glazed

Brush chicken lightly with teriyaki sauce for extra sweetness.

Vegetarian Option

Substitute chicken with crispy tofu strips.
