My husband loves to order this at Garcias, and so we had to find a recipe to make it at home. We found one on the web and have changed it a little to suit us.

Steps:
- Boil chicken in water (or broth) until cooked through.
- Let cool enough to handle, and then shred. Place in large mixing bowl.
- Saute green pepper and onion in a small amount of butter or oil until pepper is tender and onion is translucent.
- Add to chicken in bowl.
- If you have a deep fryer, fill it up and turn it on. If not, heat up 2 inches of oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat.
- While the oil is heating, make sauce. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, half and half, and garlic cloves together in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Add half of the sauce mix to the chicken mixture.
- Add 1/2 cup of cheese to chicken mixture, and stir to combine all together.
- Place approximately 1/2 cup of chicken mixture on a tortilla and roll up "burrito style". Repeat for remaining mixture.
- Fry "burritos" in oil until golden brown, turning once if frying in a fry pan.
- Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place chicken "burritos" in a large glass pan (9x13 is recommended).
- Pour remaining sauce over the top (you can reserve about 3/4 cup, if desired, for serving on the side).
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Place in oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
