Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c shredded, cooked chicken breast
1 can(s) chopped green chiles, drained
1/2 c fresh cilantro, chopped
1 can(s) black beans, drained
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can(s) fire roasted tomatoes, drained
1-2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
18 corn tortillas
oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375.
  • 2. Coat chicken breast on each side, lightly, with taco seasoning and bake until done (approx. 30 minutes or less depending on your oven).
  • 3. With a fork or food processor shred chicken and set aside.
  • 4. In a large mixing bowl add all remaining ingredients, including the remaining taco seasoning and mix.
  • 5. Add the shredded chicken breast, mix and set aside.
  • 6. In a small frying pan heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat.
  • 7. With tongs, take one tortilla and dip it in the hot oil for a few seconds on each side and place on a dry paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all tortillas have been softened in oil.
  • 8. On another paper towel, lay one tortilla down flat and spread about 2 Tbsp full of chicken mixture across one end of the tortilla and roll gently but as tight as possibly and place seam down on a non-treated baking sheet.
  • 9. Repeat until all tortillas are filled. (You will have an excess of the chicken mixture. I freeze it and use it later.)
  • 10. Bake on 375 for 10-12 minutes depending on how crispy you want them.
  • 11. Serve with sour cream or salsa or what ever you prefer. You can substitute grand beef for the chicken, it's very good too.
