Ingredients

Preparation

    1. Cook chicken thighs as desired (i.e. saute, bake, or grill) according to package directions and chop into bite-sized pieces.  Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F.  Spray wonton wrappers lightly with cooking spray and form into taco shapes between the cups of inverted muffin tins (do in batches, as needed).  Bake for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown, watching closely so they don’t burn.
    2. Fill wonton wrappers with slaw, chicken, scallions, jalapeno, pickled onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.  Sprinkle lightly with queso fresco.  Serve with cilantro and sriracha or sweet chili sauce.

    For the Asian-Style Slaw

    1. Combine cabbage, scallions, and carrot in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, oils, and brown sugar. Season generously with Kosher salt. Drizzle dressing into cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Let sit at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

    For the Pickled Onions

    1. Combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together until sugar and salt is fully dissolved.  Add onions and fully submerge.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 day, although they will last for a few weeks.
