Description
Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines seasoned ground chicken with crispy wonton wrappers, topped with fresh vegetables and Greek yogurt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and sauté until it turns golden brown, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and allow the flavors to meld for another 2 to 3 minutes before removing from heat.
- Next, preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it with cooking spray. Carefully fit each wonton wrapper into the cups of the muffin tin, shaping them into taco forms.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake the wonton wrappers for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden.
- After the wonton shells are baked, fill each one generously with the seasoned chicken mixture.
- Top off each taco with a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cheese. Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top and finish with fresh cilantro if you like.
- Serve these delightful tacos right away, accompanied by lime wedges for an extra zing.
Notes
- For an added layer of heat, mix in diced jalapeños or a dash of your favorite hot sauce into the chicken.
- Feel free to swap the ground chicken for ground turkey or beef to explore different tastes.
