  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken (breast or thighs), chopped
  • 2 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wonton wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for topping)
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, shredded cheese, creamy dressing

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken with garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate while you prep the wrappers.
  2. Make the Wonton Shells: In a skillet, heat oil for frying. Fold each wonton wrapper into a taco shape and fry until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken and sauté until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Assemble Your Tacos: Fill each wonton shell with chicken and top with herbs and optional toppings.
  5. Enjoy: Share and savor the delicious tacos with family and friends.

Notes

For a lighter option, bake wonton wrappers instead of frying. Customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
