Flautas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and Chihuahua cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Flautas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet until pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture on one end of each tortilla, then roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 3

    Fry the Flautas

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled flautas, seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot topped with Verde Sauce, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
