- Place the chicken breast, corn, green chile sauce, enchilada sauce, jack cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, cilantro, jalapeños, salt, black pepper and oregano into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Quickly fry the stack of tortillas in the oil for 5 seconds to soften the tortillas. Lay the tortillas onto a cutting board. Brush the top edge of each tortilla with egg wash and evenly divide the chicken mix onto each tortilla.
- Roll each taquito tightly. Lay two taquitos side by side with the sealed edges facing inwards. Insert a bamboo skewer through the center of two taquitos. Repeat the process with the remaining taquitos
- Fry the taquitos until crispy and golden brown (2-1/2 to 3 mins.).
- Remove from the fryer and allow to drain on paper towels. Remove the bamboo skewer and cut the taquitos in half.
- Drizzle the sour cream over the taquitos.
- Sprinkle the cilantro over the taquitos and serve with guacamole and fresh salsa.
