For the Chicken Filling:

– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup chopped green onions

For the Toppings:

Instructions
Prepare the Wonton Shells:
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few wonton wrappers in the oil, frying until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and fry the other side for another minute.
3. Remove the wonton shells from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Make the Chicken Filling:
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, green onions, and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the carrots are slightly softened.
Assemble the Tacos:
7. Take a wonton shell and fill it with a generous amount of the chicken filling.
8. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
