Step-by-Step Instructions

Pull apart the wonton shells while still pliable and return them to the oven for an additional 7-8 minutes until crispy.
Combine cooked chicken with sauces and spices, then sauté in a skillet over high heat for 7-8 minutes.
Mix the crunchy slaw ingredients in a separate bowl until well combined.
Fill each crispy wonton shell with the chicken mixture, then top with crunchy slaw.
Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the tacos and garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately while warm for the best crunch and flavor.
