4-6
ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can canned chicken (cooked and diced) or 2 chicken breasts (cooked and diced)
- 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, diced
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, low fat is OK
- 4 -6 green onions, diced
- 6 -8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 4 -6 cups cooking oil, for frying
directions
- Let cream cheese come to room temperature. Drain the canned chicken. Mix cream cheese, green chiles, green onion and chicken until well blended.
- Cut two sides of the tortillas so you have two straight sides on each side.
- Spread chicken mixture thinly on 3/4 of the tortilla. Roll tortilla up starting with the end you spread the chicken mixture on. Seal the plain end with water.
- Heat oil to about 375-400 degrees. Drop burritos into hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes. Keep turning so they fry evenly. When they start to turn golden, they are done. Drain on a paper plate covered with a paper towel.
- These are so easy and goes great with Salsa, guacamole, or ranch dressing.

In love with this recipe =) http://borrowidea.blogspot.com/2013/03/amigos-crisp-chicken-burritos-recipe.html -
Very good! I used the low fat cream cheese and canola oil, and I probably only used a cup of oil, if that. My two kids and I loved these... DH thought there was too much cream cheese. I'll definitely be making these again- thanks for sharing the recipe!

The things I like to cook the most are cakes, cobblers, rhubarb desserts, and anything with fresh cherries! We have our own little orchard. We have a variety of apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees, and peach trees. We grow rhubarb, asparagus, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and zucchini. I do a lot of canning and jelly making.
