Thai Wonton Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
• In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
• For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.

Steps:

• For the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, green papaya and cucumber. Toss with the vinegar, sugar and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• For the chicken and sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the scallions, peanut butter, soy sauce, mirin, hot sauce, ginger, lime zest and juice, garlic and about 2 tablespoons water; add more or less water depending on how thick you want the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Toss a small amount of the sauce with the chicken to moisten.
• For serving: Top the toasted tortillas with the chicken, followed by some of the sauce and slaw. Garnish with the peanuts, cilantro, basil, chile and lime wedges.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl or sealable plastic bag. Combine stir fry sauce, Asian toasted sesame dressing, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Add chicken and mix well with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• 2. In a medium bowl toss coleslaw mix with 2 tablespoons of Asian sesame dressing. Set aside. TIP...the marinade softens the coleslaw. I recommend that you mix it about 10 minutes before serving.
• 3. Heat olive oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken with the marinade and stir fry until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from the wok and transfer to a bowl. Add about 1/2 inch of oil to the wok over medium high. Fold the wonton wrappers into a triangle formation but do not seal. Place into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on one side. Turn once and fry until golden brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels.
• 4. To make tacos- place a small amount of the chicken mixture into the bottom of the fried wonton. Top with coleslaw mixture, green onion, cilantro and red onion.

Steps:

• Mix cabbage, carrots, coleslaw dressing, vinegar, soy sauce, and teriyaki together in a bowl; refrigerate until flavors blend, 1 hour to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground chicken in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add stir-fry sauce, cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer.
• Form wonton wrappers into taco shapes and arrange between the cups of an inverted muffin tin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken mixture into each wonton taco shell and top with slaw.

Steps:

• FOR SLAW.
• Add all vegetable ingredients together, toss with rice vinegar and salt, cover and set aside.
• FOR SAUCE.
• Heat up olive oil in frying pan.
• Lightly toast sesame seeds.
• Combine all ingredients in pan, bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer.
• FOR MEAT.
• Cook cubed chicken or pork until almost done.
• Add simmering sauce to meat. Cook through.
• FOR WONTONS.
• Heat oil to frying temperature.
• Fry wontons in a "taco" shape (I find this is most easily done by letting the wontons cook for a second or two, then folding them in half. Make sure you leave enough space to put the meat filling in the taco and not seal them shut).
• Assemble wontons by adding meat filling in center. Sprinkle with slaw that has been set aside.

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the canola oil to 360 degrees F. Fold the pot sticker skins to create a taco shape and fry in the canola oil. Set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, gently toss the tuna, Mango Jicama Salsa and Sweet Soy Sauce. Fill each taco shell with 1/4 of the mixture, and finish with a 1/2-ounce drizzle of the Wasabi Cream.
• To serve, arrange the tacos over a bed of the pea shoots and dress with the eel sauce.
• In a small bowl, gently stir all of the ingredients together. Allow the flavors to marry for 20 minutes before serving.
• Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until ready to serve.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip on high until the mixture forms hard peaks, about 5 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Heat taco shells according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine chicken and 1/2 cup peanut sauce; heat through., In a small bowl, mix cucumber, carrot and cilantro. Serve chicken in taco shells with cucumber mixture and remaining peanut sauce.
