📝 Ingredients

(Makes 12 tacos)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa, or cilantro

Optional Seasoning for Chicken:

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Directions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Shape Wonton Shells
    Press each wonton wrapper into the cups of the muffin tin to create a taco shell shape. Lightly brush or spray the inside with olive oil.

  3. Prepare the Chicken
    In a bowl, combine chopped or shredded chicken with olive oil and optional seasonings. Mix well.

  4. Bake the Wonton Shells
    Bake empty wonton shells for 5–7 minutes, until slightly golden and starting to crisp. Remove from oven.

  5. Fill the Tacos
    Spoon the seasoned chicken into each wonton shell. Return to oven for 5–7 more minutes, or until the shells are golden and crispy and the chicken is heated through.
