6-8 large burrito sized four tortillas

Step 2

Mix it all together until it’s evenly combined.

Top them each with the rest of the shredded cheese.

Step 7

Then, fold the two sides over the chicken mixture and fold the bottom over those sides and roll it up.

Step 8

Next, carefully add them (seam side down) into a large lipped skillet with hot oil.

Step 9

The oil should be about 2 inches deep into the skillet.

Step 10

Work in batches and fry two at a time.

Step 11

Lightly fry them on all sides until they are nice and golden brown.

Step 12

Quickly drain them on a dish towel or wire rack then transfer them to a serving platter.
