Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded ▢1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded ▢1 (4-ounce) can green chiles ▢salt and pepper, to taste ▢vegetable oil ▢8 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cheese, green chiles, salt, and pepper.

Fill a large saucepan with about ¾ inch oil. Heat over medium heat to 375°F.

Add ¼ cup of chicken mixture to the middle of a corn tortilla, then fold like a taco and grab with your tongs. Rock the taco back and forth in the oil until it can lay down without opening, then place into the oil on its side.

Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side. When both sides are cooked, remove from oil and place on a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Add your desired toppings to fill the tacos before serving.
