ingredients

• 2⁄3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2. In the same skillet, warm the tortillas over low heat to soften, about 15 seconds on each side. Place on a work surface, then spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture down the center of each. Roll up the tortillas.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2/3 cup oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the chicken rollups seam side down and cook, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes; drain on paper towels.

I changed a few things here, but nothing spectacular ~ I used lemon pepper instead of the S&P, & replaced the corn tortillas with the flour ones (I'm not that fond of the corn variety)! MOST ENJOYABLE EATING, & I'll be making use of this recipe again & again! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

Nice easy dinner tonight. The only thing I changed was that I added about a extra 1/4 cup cheese. A real easy to make recipe. Enjoyed by all. Made for new Zaar tag.
