- For Toppings:

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until spices are fragrant.
- Remove from heat and let the chicken mixture cool slightly.

Notes
- Make-ahead: The chicken filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Store leftover tacos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, but the wontons may lose their crispiness.
- Substitutions: Ground turkey or beef can be used instead of chicken. For a vegetarian option, substitute with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
