Grate and drain the potatoes.

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook the diced red onion until softened.

Add ground chicken and cook until browned. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, mix tomato paste, chicken stock, fajita seasoning, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the red sauce.

Take a portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center and fold the potato over to seal.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet and top with shredded cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and crispy.
