Light and tasty, these make a great appetizer or a quick and easy main dish! Kids love them! Finally a dish that makes use of ground chicken but not so far-fetched. I bake the wonton wrappers to save time and it eliminates most of the fat. Although time-consuming, you can fry wrappers in sesame or olive oil for the extra flaky shells, folded in a triangle for about 1 minute on each side. I loved the ones at Applebee's® and decided to attempt a home version. I was extremely pleased with the healthier version! Top tacos with cilantro, red onion, or sweet onion, if desired. Serve lime wedges on the side.

These tacos were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I was a bit skeptical about using wonton shells for tacos, but I'm so glad I tried it. They were the perfect crispy shell for the flavorful chicken filling.

I made these tacos last night and they were a hit! My family loved them. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the wonton shells were a great idea.

These tacos were amazing! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, and the wonton shells were the perfect crispy complement. I will definitely be making these again.
