Shredded Chicken Taquitos

Ooh these were so good! Great flavor and of course being fried in oil didn't hurt the taste. Rob LOVED them. I left out the cilantro.

2 TB extra virgin olive oil
1/2 C finely chopped onion
1/4 C finely chopped red pepper (I used close to 1/2 and left out the jalepeno that it called for)
2 C cooked, then shredded chicken
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 (14 1/2 oz--I think used 10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
3 TB vegetable oil
burrito size flour tortillas

In a 10-inch non stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and pepper and cook 3 to 5 min or until veg. are tender, stirring frequently. Stir in chicken, salt, cumin, pepper and tomato with green chiles. Cook 5 minutes. Place oil into large skillet over medium heat. Place about 2 large TB of chicken mixture into each tortilla. Tightly roll, securing ends with toothpicks. In batches, place taquitos into hot pan. Pan fry until nice and golden brown on each side. Remove, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to dry.
