Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with a bit of olive/canola oil, then drape over the side of a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 7-8 minutes, watching closely closely so they don't burn. Take wonton shells out of the oven, then gently pull them apart while they are still pliable so that they are more easily filled with toppings. Bake another 7-8 minutes until crispy.

Customization & Variations
Feel free to make these tacos your own! While chicken is classic, you could easily swap it for finely diced pork, shrimp, or even firm tofu for a vegetarian option. For the slaw, experiment with adding shredded red cabbage or bell peppers for extra color and crunch. If you don't have sweet chili sauce, a drizzle of sriracha mayo or a blend of hoisin and a touch of lime juice makes a great alternative. Don't forget that sprinkle of fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for added flair.
These Chicken Wonton Tacos are ideal as a crowd-pleasing appetizer for parties, a fun snack, or even a light, flavorful meal. Serve them immediately to ensure maximum crispness, perhaps alongside extra sweet chili sauce for dipping.
