- Ingredients
- 2 cooked, boneless, skinless Chicken breasts (halves)
- 1 ½ cups Pepper Jack Cheese

- 1 Tbsp fresh Lime juice
- ½ tsp Cumin
- ½ tsp Chili powder

Preparation steps
1.
Heat oil in deep-fryer to 350º F.
2.
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, salsa, lime juice cumin, chili powder, garlic and onion. Toss to mix together.
3.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of a tortilla. Roll the tortilla as tightly as possible. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4.
Fry tortillas 4 or 5 at a time, do not over crowd. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Once the tortillas float, fry for an additional minute. Tortillas should be crisp. Drain on paper towels.
5.
Place a handful of shredded lettuce on each plate. Divide taquitos between plates and serve with a dollop of salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
