Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (rinsed and drained) Black beans
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 2 stalks (chopped) Green onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 medium-sized Flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup (for frying) Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, frozen corn, shredded cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onion, and fresh cilantro.
Add the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt into the mixture. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on the counter. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture in the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a cylinder. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (about 350°F), add the rolled tortillas seam-side down. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each roll for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Use tongs to turn the rolls carefully during frying.
Once cooked, transfer the rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
