Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, jack cheese, black beans, and sour cream. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Assemble Flautas

  1. 2

    Roll the Flautas

    Take a flour tortilla and place about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Prepare Chipotle Ranch Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing and chipotle in adobo sauce. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Fry Flautas

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Flautas

    Carefully place 2-3 flautas in the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining flautas.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the crispy flautas hot with a side of chipotle ranch sauce for dipping.
