- ½ tsp Cumin

Preparation steps

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.
