Ingredients
Scale
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large avocado, diced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 small tomato, diced
- Optional: sour cream or lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or turn it upside down and drape wonton wrappers between the cups to form taco shapes.
- Brush wontons with olive oil and bake for 6–8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool.
- In a bowl, mix diced chicken with honey, lime juice, zest, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes.
- Cook marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
- Fill each baked wonton shell with a spoonful of chicken, followed by avocado, tomato, red onion, and a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce.
- Top with fresh cilantro and garnish with lime wedges or sour cream if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Wonton shells can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Try shredded lettuce, jalapeños, or pickled onions for extra texture and flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with black beans or grilled tofu.
