Chicken Tequitos

Want to impress your Man and His buddies on Superbowl Sunday... Make a platter of these! They are not to hard to make, a little messy, but with practice and following my steps you will be a tequito pro.
STEP 1
The most important thing is to be organized. You will want to cook your chicken breast (3 pieces), one taco seasoning pack,  water to cover the chicken and a lid! Cook on low most of the day (4-6 hours). When its done it will fall apart! put it in a bowl and set it aside.
STEP 2
Cheese!! I bought a pack of Great Value finely shredded fiesta blend.. you will need about 1 cup put it in a bowl and set aside.
STEP 3
Yellow corn tortillas Mission Brand makes an extra thin- i would suggest NOT using these your first time they are more tricky to work with they break easy- so start with just your regular yellow corn tortilla.
STEP 4
In a large skillet heat your oil. have paper towels on your platter to put your tequitos to drain- you are also going to want a stack of napkins in front of you- Alright Ready? here we go:

Take your tortilla and put it in the oil just for a second- remove and put on your paper napkin in front of you- continue i do three at a time- fill these with just enough chicken sprinkle with cheese roll and put on a plate- do ALL of the tortillas-  dip, fill, roll, plate...
STEP 5
when they are all filled you are ready to fry them. Typically they fry pretty quick about 3 mins both sides should be browned-

see aren't they pretty?!

that salsa is something i picked up- its a pack called "salsa seasoning mix" by concord foods- you just add your own Roma tomato and red onion. its pretty good!

here is my tequitos all ready to be dropped in the oil:

And here they are in the skillet:
