Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful dish:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 12 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
If you’re in a pinch, you can substitute ground turkey for the chicken or use a gluten-free soy sauce to suit your dietary needs. My grandmother always taught me to cook with what we had on hand, so feel free to get creative!
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your tacos:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, forming a cup shape. Spray the wrappers lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake the wonton cups in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.
- In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is well-coated and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the coleslaw mix and green onions.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into each wonton cup, filling them generously.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, if using, and serve immediately for the best crunch.
As my abuela always said, don’t rush perfection. Take your time with each step to ensure you get the most out of every flavor.
