Ingredients

  • your choice for serving:
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (I like rotisserie)
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 + 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 + 1/2 cups chopped baby spinach, stems removed
  • coarse salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
  • 9 - 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • sour cream/quacamole/salsa/taco sauce/ranch dressing

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

In a large bowl mix together the chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, cheddar and spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Working with one tortilla at a time add 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture off center and spread out like a log. Roll up and set seam side down on a platter. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled and rolled.

Add enough oil to a large skillet to generously cover the bottom. Heat on medium to medium-low heat, cook tortillas in batches, turning to brown each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Serve with your choice of dunking sauce.
