Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Step-By-Step

1
In a large bowl, debone the chicken and shred the meat.
2
Add sour cream, chopped green chiles, corn, onion, garlic, both cheeses, and spices.
3
Toss well.
4
Set oven to 200 and in a large pan over moderate heat, warm 1/4 cup of oil until it sizzles.
5
Meanwhile, put 1/4 cup of the chicken filling into each tortilla, roll, and secure with a toothpick.
6
Working one at a time, pan-fry until the tortillas are golden brown and the interior mixture is warm, about 4 minutes per side.
7
Add additional oil after each fry session. Drain on a paper towel, and transfer to oven to keep warm.
8
When ready to serve, place on platter (or serve 2 per plate), and serve with favorite guacamole or sour cream.
