In same container mix in desired amount of cheese with chicken. Toss gently to coat well. Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1 1/2 minutes or until hot. Spoon approximately one-sixth of the mixture into the center of a tortilla. Don't stuff tortillas too full. Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture. Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a toothpick to hold together. Arrange the wraps on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, overnight if possible. Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees. Deep fry the wraps in the hot oil for 12-15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes. Carefully remove toothpicks. Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate covered with lettuce leaves around a small bowl of the avocado dipping sauce or ranch dressing. Garnish with the dipping sauce with the chopped tomato. Firecracker Sauce: Combine all ingredients water and cornstarch for the sauce in a small saucepan.

Avocado Lime Sauce: Mash avocado, mix in the juice of 3-4 limes, add a little olive oil (up to 1 tablespoon), garlic and salt. Whisk together well until smooth.
Tips:
- Select the right tortillas: Use sturdy tortillas that can hold the fillings without tearing. Corn tortillas or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
- Prep the vegetables: Cut the vegetables into thin strips or slices so they are easy to eat. This will also help them cook evenly.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or mint add a burst of flavor to the wraps. Use them as a garnish or mix them into the fillings.
- Don't overstuff the wraps: Be careful not to overfill the wraps, or they will be difficult to roll and eat. Aim for a moderate amount of fillings that can be easily wrapped.
- Cook the wraps properly: If you are using grilled or pan-fried wraps, make sure to cook them until they are slightly charred and crispy. This will add flavor and texture to the wraps.
