Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken, cooked and shredded
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup minced green onion
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. parsley
Vegetable oil, for frying
Guacamole

Preparation:
Sprinkle tortillas lightly with water; wrap in foil and place in 200 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Leave in foil until ready to use.

In large skillet, mix together chicken, taco seasoning, water, onion, garlic powder, and parsley. Bring to a boil over medium high heat; reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.

Place 2 tablespoons chicken mixture down center of each warmed tortilla. Roll up tortillas tightly; secure with toothpicks.

In deep, large saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Fry rolled tortillas in oil until golden brown and crisp. Drain well on paper towels.
