Ingredients
Scale
- 12 small wonton wrappers
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lime wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin and press wonton wrappers into the cups to form taco shells. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from the tin and set aside to cool.
- In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic powder, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to make the creamy sauce. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on desired heat level.
- To assemble, place a spoonful of the cooked chicken mixture into each crispy wonton shell.
- Top with shredded cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions.
- Drizzle with the creamy sriracha sauce and garnish with lime wedges. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Wonton wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores, usually near the tofu or Asian ingredients.
- For a healthier version, you can use lettuce leaves instead of wonton wrappers for the shells.
- Feel free to add other toppings like avocado or jalapeños for extra flavor.
