Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- as needed Sour cream or ranch dressing (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded chicken, chopped pickled jalapeños, hot sauce, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface.
Spread about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll each tortilla tightly, like a log, and place it seam-side down to prevent unrolling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each log for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked 'Fire Logs' from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Let them cool slightly, then slice each log into halves or thirds, if desired, for easier serving.
Serve warm with sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
