Ingredients

| Chopped scallions | 1/4 cup |
| Corn tortillas | 8 |

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, Buffalo hot sauce, and scallions. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
- Take a corn tortilla and place a generous spoonful of the mixture in the center. Fold the edges inward and roll tightly from the bottom. Make sure the filling is well sealed. Repeat with all tortillas.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each roll in the beaten egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, making sure they are fully covered.
- Fry the rolls in hot oil for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally so they brown evenly.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite sauce, such as ranch dressing or extra Buffalo hot sauce.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 15–20 minutes or until crispy, turning halfway through. Lightly brush with oil for better browning.
Can I use flour tortillas?
Yes, but corn tortillas keep this recipe gluten free. Flour tortillas will give a slightly different texture.
How do I store leftovers?
