Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, canned green chiles, black beans, shredded cheese, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet just until warm and pliable. This will make them easier to roll.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 3

    Fill and Roll

    Take a tortilla and add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture to the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  2. 4

    Fry the Mini Chimis

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled mini chimis to the oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the mini chimis from the oil and let drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
