Heat oil in deep-fryer to 350º F.

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.
