  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    
    

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    
    

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    
    

  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
    
    

• For the Slaw:
  
  

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
    
    

  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
    
    

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon honey
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    
    

• For the Tacos:
  
  

  • 12 wonton wrappers
    
    

  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
    
    

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (white or black)
    
    

Directions

1. Make the slaw: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the chicken.
   
   

2. Prepare the wonton wrappers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with olive oil, then drape them over the sides of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
   
   

3. Bake the wonton shells: Bake the wonton wrappers for 7-8 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning. Once slightly cooled, pull them apart gently while they are still pliable, and then bake for an additional 7-8 minutes until crispy.
   
   

4. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine diced chicken with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the chicken is well-coated.
   
   

5. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
   
   

6. Assemble the tacos: Once the wonton shells are crispy, fill each one with a portion of the cooked chicken mixture. Top with the prepared slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
   
   

7. Serve: Serve immediately as a fun appetizer, snack, or quick dinner!
