  • 1 cup cooked and shredded Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup Black Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup roasted Corn Kernels
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely diced Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh Cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed Lime Juice

Wrapping & Frying

  • 6 small Flour Tortillas
  • 1 Egg beaten, for sealing
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Hot Sauce

Instructions

Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, roasted corn, both cheeses, bell pepper, cilantro and seasonings.
  • Drizzle in the lime juice. Mix well.

Assemble the Rolls

  • Lay a tortilla flat on a work surface or plate.
  • Spoon about 3 tablespoons prepared filling onto lower 1/3 of the tortilla.
  • Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
  • Brush edge with beaten egg to seal.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Fry

  • Pour oil into a medium skillet. Place over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, fry rolls in batches, seam-side down, for about 2 - 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Set aside and keep warm.
  • (Alternately, for a lighter version, bake rolls at 425°F for 15 - 18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp.)

Dipping Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, lime juice, smoked paprika and hot sauce.

Serve & Enjoy

  • Slice the rolls diagonally and serve hot with the zesty dipping sauce.
