Recipe: Spicy Chicken Wonton Tacos

Summary: A tasty alternative to mexican beef tacos.  This recipe came about because I fell in love with Applebee’s Spicy Chicken Wonton Tacos but didn’t want to spend $8.99 for 3 itty bitty tacos.  This recipe tastes just like Applebee’s and makes a lot more than 3.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts, Grilled
  • 1 Tablespoon Stir Fry Oil
  • 1 Package of Cole Slaw Mix
  • 1/4 cup diced Red Onion
  • 1 4 oz can diced jalapeños
  • 1 Tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • Asian Vinaigrette Dressing
  • 1 package square wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Cilantro
  • Limes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl mix together cole slaw mix (but do not use the cole slaw dressing that comes with it), cilantro and dice red onion.
  2. Strain can of diced jalepenos making sure to eliminate as much of the juice as possible.
  3. Add jalepenos to cole slaw mix.
  4. Pour Asian Vinaigrette into cole slaw mix, you won’t need much. Use an amount that makes the cole slaw taste the way you want it. I use about 1/4 of a cup or less.
  5. Stir cole slaw mixture together until all ingredients are well combined and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.
  6. Grill Chicken breasts and cut into small cubes.
  7. In a preheated skillet warm up stir fry oil.
  8. When oil is hot add chicken and crushed red pepper flakes.
  9. Fry for about 2 minutes or so until chicken is hot and coated in stir fry oil.
  10. Remove chicken from skillet and add 1 cup of vegetable oil to the pan.
  11. Place a “strip” of cubed and fried chicken in the center of a wonton wrapper and fold the wrapper so that it resembles a taco.
  12. Fry wonton wrapper with chicken inside for about 30 seconds or so until wonton wrapper is golden brown and crispy.
  13. Top each taco with cole slaw mix and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  14. Give everyone a lime wedge to squeeze over their tacos.
