Flauta Ingredients
Method
Flauta Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned.

Assemble the Flautas
Take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned chicken and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on one end of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Flautas
Carefully place 2-3 flautas in the hot oil, seam side down. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the flautas hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side for dipping.
