Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 2 cups Chicken Breast (Diced) Can be swapped with tofu or shrimp.
  • 1 pack Wonton Wrappers Consider using baked versions for a lighter alternative.
  • 1 cup Teriyaki Sauce Store-bought works well for convenience.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (Freshly grated) Ground ginger can be used if needed.

For the Toppings

  • 2 cups Fresh Cabbage (Shredded)
  • 1 bunch Green Onions (Sliced)
  • 1 cup Optional Pineapple (Diced) For tropical sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds For sprinkling.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a bowl, mix diced chicken, minced garlic, and ginger. Pour in half of the teriyaki sauce and mix well. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  • While the chicken is marinating, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cooking

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked and slightly golden, about 6-8 minutes.

Shaping and Baking

  • Take a wonton wrapper and place a small amount of cooked chicken in the center. Fold the sides over to create a taco shape. Use a little water to seal the edges. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the shaped wontons on the sheet and lightly spray them with cooking oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the wontons are crispy and golden brown.

Assembling

  • Once the wontons are baking, shred the cabbage and slice the green onions. If using pineapple, dice it into small chunks.
  • After baking, take out the wontons and let them cool slightly. Fill each crispy wonton with shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, diced pineapple, and drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Notes

Serve the wonton tacos warm on a platter. They are best enjoyed fresh from the oven with extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping. Offer additional toppings like sriracha for those who like a little heat.
