Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Set aside. -
Make the Asian-Inspired Slaw:
In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw and toss until well combined. -
Prepare the Wonton Wrappers:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a muffin tin or taco holder to shape the wonton wrappers into taco shells. Place one wonton wrapper into each section, pressing down gently to form a cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly. -
Assemble the Tacos:
Once the wonton shells are cooled, fill each with a spoonful of the cooked chicken mixture and top with the Asian-inspired slaw.
Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
-
Serve:
Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy!
Notes
-
You can substitute the chicken with ground turkey or chicken thighs for a different texture or flavor.
-
If you prefer a crunchier taco shell, you can deep fry the wonton wrappers instead of baking them.
-
For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
