Ingredients
  

For the Tacos
  • 12 pieces wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded Store-bought rotisserie chicken can be used.
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce Ensure it is halal-certified.
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese Use halal-friendly cheese.
  • Oil for frying Enough for about 1-2 inches deep in the pan.
  • sliced green onions For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with teriyaki sauce. Ensure the chicken is well-coated to maximize flavor.
  2. In a deep pan, heat enough oil for frying over medium heat—about 1-2 inches deep. You’ll know the oil is ready when a small drop of water sizzles in it!
  3. Take a wonton wrapper and spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it into a triangle, sealing tightly.
Cooking
  1. Carefully place the filled wontons in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. Remove the tacos from the oil and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
  1. Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while crispy!

Notes

For perfect results, fry the wonton tacos in small batches to ensure they cook evenly and remain crispy. If preparing in advance, keep the filling and wrappers separate until frying to prevent sogginess. For storing leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
