allurmemesrbelong2me: Oh wow. This is brilliant. I already have so many different versions of this I want to try.
anonymoushero1: This looks good but I think I want a different type of cheese.
mikevanatta: Well this looks good. I wonder what’s wrong with it.
morganeisenberg: Here’s the recipe, from http://hostthetoast.com/green-chile-chicken-quesadilla-sticks/
These are really just a fun alternative to mozzarella sticks or quesadillas, and they freeze / reheat very well! Feel free to get creative with them.
**INGREDIENTS**
1 cup shredded chicken (leftover, rotisserie, or freshly poached)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 tablespoons water
8 mozzarella string cheese sticks, cut in half crossways
4 flour tortillas, cut into quarters
Oil, for frying
Chopped cilantro, to top
Salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, to serve
**INSTRUCTIONS**
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken and diced green chiles. In a small, separate bowl, whisk together the flour and water to create a paste.
Diagonally layer a heaping tablespoon of the green chile chicken on top of a tortilla quarter, parallel to the outer edge. Place a string cheese half on top of the chicken. Use a finger to generously coat the edges of the tortilla with the flour paste. Fold the top and bottom corners over the filling, then roll the remaining pointed corner inward and over the filling, and continue to roll until completely covered, like a burrito. Set aside, seam-side down, and repeat to form the rest of the quesadilla sticks.
Heat a half inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the quesadilla sticks in batches, seam side down, and cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until browned all over and crisp, about 2 more minutes.
Remove to a paper plate to absorb excess oil and repeat until all of the sticks have been fried.
Serve topped with chopped cilantro and with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole for dipping.

_Robb_Stark_______: I could turn this into such a mess, can’t wait to try!
Cormin211: As a New Mexican I’m glad to see green chile used! I think it needs to be used more often. But I’d definitely recommend roasted over canned.
AthosAlonso: The only thing I’d change is I’d not fry it, but grill it on a pan.
Personal preference though, not that it’s wrong or anything. Looks great!
aManPerson: i love the use of mozzerella sticks………now i want to use them more if only to get stupid good stretchy cheese.
Bernard_Ber: Lovely video. Looks pretty tasty, thank you. The melted stringy cheese pull is perfect for video 🙂
pm_me_judge_reinhold: Can this be done using corn tortilla and without the added flower? The wife is gluten free (not by choice) and would love this.
endprism: What is this…new Mexico?
MealStudio: This looks really delicious! Love the form factor it opens a lot of possibilities up! Wonder how it would do deep fried.
portissmith: It’s def a good leftovers idea. Would personally use a different cheese and season the chicken, but good recipe with tons of room for tinkering.
SiliconOverlord27: So…chicken taquitos.
ocherthulu: Did anyone else think that this was sponsored by Pepsi? (AKA “Bepis”)
feebleposition: This is pretty irrelevant but does anyone else hate these videos where someone snaps their fingers to cut to something being chopped? I get they’re doing it to save time in the video and they didn’t do it in this one, but something about that finger snap just bugs the life out of me.
Anyone else?
motherfuahchlrr: it’s called an empanada and sorry colombus but natives discovered it first
RedPillWizard: damn im trying this one, looks good as shit
LiquidRinnegan: Hand em over… im dying… plz..
CosmicChloe: Canned green chili? Oh jfc I wish I could bring you all to CO and get some freshly roasted chili.
dohn_joeb: Why you wouldn’t use a mexican cheese baffles me. But the idea is neat.
anniemg01: I’m too lazy for this. Keep the tortilla whole and just make this a quesadilla.
there_i_seddit: Mexarella sticks
rkhandadash12: Is there a good cheese alternative? Also this recipe is seriously lacking flavor.
Ellaerian: Gross, “canned” green chile. As a New Mexican, (where green chile comes from), I am appalled!
(Totally neat idea, though! I’ll try this with -real- green chile. Thanks for the recipe! 😁)

UltimateArgentinian: What is the point of posting this to a subreddit with your username, and then crossposting it here?
Edit: Why am I getting downvoted for asking a simple question?
klesto92: For better results don’t use canned chilies and prepare some “chiles toreados” yourself. And don’t use marinara sauce but green sauce made with green tomatoes.
midnightagenda: I get the feeling this would not turn out well for anyone who would try this on their own… Most store bought tortillas are not that malleable and would not stay closed. Just chicken and green chilies would be so bland with no spices or salt, and that’s a huge amount of cheese, I can see this leaking out of the tortillas.
