## **Instructions**
### **1. Prepare the Chicken Filling**
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shredded chicken to the pan, mixing it well with the spices. Pour in the chicken broth or water, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you’d like a cheesy filling, sprinkle in some shredded cheese and stir until it melts and combines into the chicken.
### **3. Assemble the Tacos**
Once the wonton shells have cooled slightly, carefully fill each crispy wonton shell with the chicken mixture. Be generous with the filling, packing it into the taco shell for maximum flavor.
### **4. Add Your Toppings**
Top each chicken wonton taco with your favorite toppings! You can go classic with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream, or get creative with avocado, cilantro, salsa, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
