Heat 1/2 inch oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
In a large bowl, stir together shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, colby jack cheese and spinach; season with salt and pepper.
When oil is hot enough (place hand over pan, above oil, to feel heat), add a few tablespoons of chicken and cream cheese mixture to the center of a tortilla; spread out; roll up; place seam side down in oil using tongs. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat until all the tortillas are filled, rolled and fried.
Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Serve warm.
