CHICKEN WONTON TACOS



Chicken Wonton Tacos image

Light and tasty, these make a great appetizer or a quick and easy main dish! Kids love them! Finally a dish that makes use of ground chicken but not so far-fetched. I bake the wonton wrappers to save time and it eliminates most of the fat. Although time-consuming, you can fry wrappers in sesame or olive oil for the extra flaky shells, folded in a triangle for about 1 minute on each side. I loved the ones at Applebee's® and decided to attempt a home version. I was extremely pleased with the healthier version! Top tacos with cilantro, red onion, or sweet onion, if desired. Serve lime wedges on the side.

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the muffin tins and tortillas
Six 6-inch flour tortillas
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander

My take on the viral mini tacos. These little chicken and corn tacos bites are perfect for a party or for game day snacking. Feel free to experiment with shredded pork and/or beef instead of chicken and your favorite taco toppings!

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 (7 inch) flour tortillas
butter-flavored cooking spray
2 ½ cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 ¼ cups whole kernel corn, drained
1 ¼ cups salsa
¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Spray both sides of the tortillas with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cut small circles into the tortillas using a 2 3/4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. You should be able to get about 3 to 4 circles from each tortilla.
  • Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Fold tortilla circles into a taco shape and arrange each into the space between 2 cups so they hold their shape. Each muffin tin will hold 17 mini tacos.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tacos are just starting to turn golden brown and crispy, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't burn, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix together chicken, corn, and salsa in a skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cheese blend into the bottom of each taco shell, and fill with the chicken and corn mixture. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
