These Asian Chicken Wonton Tostadas are the perfect blend of convenience and bold flavors, making them ideal for busy weeknights or game-day gatherings. Crispy wonton or eggroll wrappers serve as the base, topped with sweet chili-glazed chicken tenders and a vibrant Asian salad mix. It’s a semi-homemade meal that’s ready in minutes but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. I love making these tostadas for my family because they’re always a hit. The crispy wonton base paired with the tangy salad and saucy chicken is a winning combination that everyone enjoys.

Ingredients and Why They Matter

• Asian Chopped Salad Kit: A shortcut that includes pre-chopped veggies, dressing, and crunchy toppings like sesame seeds or wonton strips.
• Chicken tenders: Use pre-cooked or deli-fried chicken for convenience, or cook your own for a homemade touch.
• Wonton or eggroll wrappers: These become the crispy base for the tostadas. Wonton wrappers are great for smaller portions, while eggroll wrappers work for larger tostadas.
• Sweet chili sauce: Adds a sweet and spicy glaze to the chicken.
• Cooking oil: For frying the wrappers until golden and crispy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Wonton or Eggroll Wrapper Base:
   Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry the wrappers one at a time for 30-60 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels. For a lighter option, brush the wrappers with oil and bake or air fry until crispy.
2. Prepare the Asian Salad Mix:
   Toss the contents of the Asian salad kit (veggies, dressing, and toppings) in a large bowl until well combined.
3. Toss the Chicken in Sweet Chili Sauce:
   Coat cooked chicken tenders with sweet chili sauce, using about 2 tablespoons per 2 tenders. Adjust to taste.
4. Assemble the Tostadas:
   Place a crispy wonton or eggroll wrapper on a plate. Top with a generous portion of the Asian salad mix. Add the sweet chili-glazed chicken tenders on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!

I love how the sweet chili sauce adds a tangy kick to the chicken, while the crispy wonton base provides the perfect crunch. It’s a meal that’s both fun and satisfying!
