Ingredient Checklist

¼ cup butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup minced onion

¼ cup chopped black olives

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon oil

¼ teaspoon ground paprika

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken

8 flour tortillas

oil for frying, or as needed

toothpicks

 

In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter; whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook and toss the onion in the flour-butter mixture for 5 to 10 minutes, or until softened. Cook and whisk in the black olives, lemon juice, oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt until heated through, approximately 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and cover with a lid after stirring in the chicken.

 

In a big, heavy saucepan or deep-fryer, heat the oil.

 

Spread tortillas halfway with the chicken mixture. Wrap the tortilla around the filling and fasten it with a toothpick.

Working in batches, fry the rolled tortillas in the heated oil until browned, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the cooked tortillas to a paper towel-lined platter.
