Instructions

In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until no longer pink.
Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Simmer until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix with rice vinegar, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
Shape wonton wrappers over a taco mold or oven rack. Lightly brush with oil and bake at 375°F for 5–7 minutes or fry until golden.
Assemble tacos by filling each shell with chicken, slaw, and a drizzle of sauce. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.
Serve immediately for best texture.
