Ingredients

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or regular chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt
16 corn tortillas
oil for frying
pico de gallo
guacamole

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine chicken, cheddar, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder together in a bowl. Mix well. Season to taste with salt.
Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry each tortilla one at a time until soft, about 30 seconds per side (you want them soft so that you can roll them). Add more oil if needed. Transfer to plate using a paper towel to separate each tortilla.
To assemble, spoon 2 tablespoons of meat mixture into tortilla and roll closed. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all are rolled.
Bake in oven for 15 -20 minutes or until ends start to brown. Remove from oven and top with your favorite toppings.
