Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup canned chili (your favorite variety)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

12 small flour tortillas

2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, canned chili, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined and creamy.

    Assemble the Tortilla Bites: Take one flour tortilla and place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and then roll up tightly to create a secure bite-sized roll. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

      Fry the Tortilla Bites: In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add a few tortilla bites at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Serve: Arrange the cheesy chili chicken tortilla bites on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with a side of sour cream for dipping.

          Enjoy: Dig into these delicious bites that are perfect for parties, game nights, or as a fun snack!
