Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle mayo. Fold in the sides and roll it tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Fry the Rolls

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled tortillas seam-side down into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the chicken rolls in half and serve warm with additional chipotle mayo and pico de gallo on the side.
