Flautas Ingredients
Method
Flautas Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and salt. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Assemble the Flautas
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll them tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Fry the Flautas
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled flautas in the oil, frying them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the flautas hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
