Directions

Step 1
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in flour until smooth. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add black olives, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt; cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 2
Stir in chicken; remove the skillet from heat and cover.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan or deep fryer over medium-high heat.

Step 4
Fill tortillas with chicken mixture. Roll tortilla around filling and secure with a toothpick.
