Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In the bowl of mashed potatoes, add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, chopped onion, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Flauta Assembly and Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. This prevents them from cracking when rolled.

  2. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture at one end of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 5

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled flautas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove toothpicks if used. Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
