Start Cooking

Ingredients

vegetable or canola oil, (for frying)

3 cups shredded cooked chicken

6 ounces cream cheese, (softened)

1½ cups baby spinach, (stems removed and chopped)

1½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, (or Mexican blend cheese)

½ cup salsa, (store-bought or homemade)

⅓ cup sour cream

salt and pepper to taste

12 (6-inch) corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)

shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, Pico de Gallo

Directions

Fill a saucepan with ½ inch of oil and heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together chicken, cream cheese, spinach, Colby Jack cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Add salt and pepper.

Once oil is hot enough, add a few tablespoons of chicken/cream cheese mixture to the center of a tortilla and spread out. Roll the tortilla and use tongs to place it seam-side down in hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Set on paper towels to drain.

Repeat until all 12 (6-inch) tortillas have been filled, rolled, and fried.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
