• 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese, melty and sharp
• 1/2 cup sour cream, cool and creamy
• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced and fresh
• 2 tbsp soy sauce, rich and umami-packed
• 1 tbsp sesame oil, aromatic and nutty
• 1 tsp garlic powder, pungent and earthy

• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, fiery and bold
• Vegetable oil, for frying (enough to fill 1 inch in a skillet)

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Tip: Break it into small crumbles for even cooking.
2. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 more minute to blend flavors. Tip: Taste and adjust seasoning now, as wontons will be salty.

4. Place a wonton wrapper flat, add 1 tbsp chicken mixture and a pinch of cheese. Fold in half to form a taco, pressing edges to seal. Tip: Use a bit of water on edges if they won’t stick.
5. Fry each taco until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet to maintain oil temperature.
6. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and green onions.
