Spread one-tablespoon vegetable oil over the chicken breast. Cook chicken about 5 minutes each side in a medium saucepan on medium heat, until meat turns light brown and clear juices run. Remove the chicken from heat and set aside.
Take a medium saucepan and heat 1-tablespoon vegetable oil on medium heat. Stir fry red pepper and green onion. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until it becomes tender.
Cut chicken and mix with red pepper and onion in a pan. Mix in corn, spinach, jalapeno peppers, black beans, cumin, parsley, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt. To mix it and make it soft stir for 5 minutes. Removing from heat, stir in Monterey Jack cheese to melt.
Use lightly moist, clean cloth to wrap tortillas. For 1 minute Microwave on high, until hot and soft.
Fill each tortilla uniformly with the mixture. Folding ends of the tortillas roll tightly around fillings. Lock it with toothpicks. Put in a standard dish, wrap with plastic, and put in freezer. Freeze for 4 hours.
Heat oil to deep fry at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a deep fryer. Deep-fry stuffed, frozen tortillas for ten minutes each until dark golden brown. Drain the excess oil on paper tissues and serve it hot with your favorite dip.
