Assembly
- Carefully hold a wonton wrapper in your hand. Spoon about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center. Moisten the edges of the wonton with a drop of water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. You can also form it into a taco shape if desired.
Cooking
- In a deep pan or large skillet, pour in enough oil for frying (about 1-2 inches deep) and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully add the wonton tacos to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tacos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serving
- Arrange the tacos on a platter and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy the admiration from family and friends!
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes. Freeze assembled tacos before frying for up to 3 months.
