CHICKEN WONTON TACOS
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.

Steps:
- FOR SLAW.
- Add all vegetable ingredients together, toss with rice vinegar and salt, cover and set aside.
- FOR SAUCE.
- Heat up olive oil in frying pan.
- Lightly toast sesame seeds.
- Combine all ingredients in pan, bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer.
- FOR MEAT.
- Cook cubed chicken or pork until almost done.
- Add simmering sauce to meat. Cook through.
- FOR WONTONS.
- Heat oil to frying temperature.
- Fry wontons in a "taco" shape (I find this is most easily done by letting the wontons cook for a second or two, then folding them in half. Make sure you leave enough space to put the meat filling in the taco and not seal them shut).
- Assemble wontons by adding meat filling in center. Sprinkle with slaw that has been set aside.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- Use wonton wrappers that are fresh and not brittle. If they are brittle, you can soften them by microwaving them for a few seconds.
- Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers. If you do, they will be difficult to fold and seal.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the wontons. If the oil is not hot enough, the wontons will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Serve the wonton tacos immediately after they are fried. This will ensure that they are crispy and delicious.
Conclusion:
Wonton tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a wonton taco that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give wonton tacos a try!
