Directions

In medium saute pan over medium to high heat, add oil, onions, red bell peppers, jalapeno pepper, potatoes, garlic and chicken. Saute until chicken is cooked and vegetables are soft. Add the oregano and cumin and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

In large cast iron skillet, heat 1/2-inch of canola oil to 350 degrees F.

Add rolls to hot oil, placing toothpick seam down. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown and turn to other side.

Remove and drain on paper towel. Remove toothpicks and serve with guacamole and salsa.

    These are very good but are excellent with the added ingredients as I thought they did not have much flavor. I added 2 extra teaspoon of cumin 1 tablespoon of chili powder 1/2 to 3/4 cup of salsa and 4oz of shredded cheese. This took them over the top.
