Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Wonton Cups

  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the wonton cups.
  2. Cook the chicken. In a pan over medium heat, warm the sesame oil, then add the ground chicken and cook until it is fully browned, ensuring an even texture and no pink inside.
  3. Season the chicken. Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder into the cooked chicken to infuse it with savory and aromatic flavors, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Prepare wonton cups. Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin cups, forming a cup shape that will hold the filling.
  5. Bake wonton cups. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the wonton wrappers for 8-10 minutes until they turn golden brown and become crispy.
  6. Assemble the tacos. Spoon the cooked chicken mixture evenly into each crispy wonton cup.
  7. Add fresh toppings. Garnish the filled wonton cups with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions to add freshness, crunch, and color.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the wonton wrappers are well pressed into the muffin tin.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite fresh vegetables or herbs such as cilantro or shredded carrots.
  • You can prepare the chicken mixture ahead of time and reheat before filling the wonton cups.
  • Serve these tacos immediately after assembling to maintain the crisp texture of the wonton cups.
  • To reduce sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce.
