Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the filling by mixing cooked shredded chicken and diced green chiles in a bowl for about 5 minutes.
  2. Assemble the sticks by placing mozzarella cheese and chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla, then roll it tightly.
  3. Seal the edges with a paste made from flour and water to prevent leaking during frying.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet to medium-high, enough to cover the bottom by about ½ inch.
  5. Fry the sticks in batches for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
