Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos are the ultimate “wow” appetizer: crunchy wonton shells shaped like mini tacos, stuffed
with crispy saucy chicken, topped with a fresh Asian-style slaw, and finished with a creamy drizzle. They’re inspired
by restaurant favorites, but they’re surprisingly easy to make at home—especially if you bake the wonton shells and
use quick-cook chicken. Perfect for game day, parties, holidays, or when you want dinner to feel fun.
