Instructions

How to Make Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos

  • Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). While it heats, gently press each wonton wrapper into the taco shape.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once cooked, add garlic powder, ground ginger, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Fill each wonton shell with the seasoned ground chicken mixture, leaving space at the top to close them.
  • Arrange the filled wonton tacos in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Carefully remove the tacos from the air fryer and let them cool briefly. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
