Details

Level: Easy
Serves 6 guests
Time: 30 minutes

Instructions

On a plate microwave tortillas for 1 minute to make them pliable
In a medium bowl mix together chicken, chilies, salsa, and sour cream to make filling
Add filling to a tortilla with teaspoon. I like to lay them all out and make sure they all get the same amount before I start rolling.
Roll each tortilla making sure that filling doesn’t go all the way to the ends
In a large fry pan heat oil over medium high heat
When oil is hot, Lay burritos in oil ending flap side down. Brown each side, turning only once.
Remove to paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve and enjoy. I cut mine in half so the filling shows. I also serve these mini burritos on a plate of shredded cabbage to look pretty and to maintain its crispness.
