Method
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, refried beans, shredded cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Flauta Assembly
Assemble the Flautas
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas one at a time until soft and pliable (about 30 seconds per side). Remove from heat and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll them tightly to form cylindrical shapes.
Secure the Flautas
Use toothpicks to secure the ends of the rolled tortillas, if necessary, to prevent them from unrolling.
Frying
Fry the Flautas
Carefully place the assembled flautas into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn them as needed.
Drain the Flautas
Once golden, remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
Serve and Enjoy
Arrange the flautas on a serving platter and garnish with sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños. Serve warm and enjoy!
