Flautas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheese, refried beans, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Flautas

    Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Take a corn tortilla, add a generous spoonful of the filling mixture to the center, and roll it tightly. Secure it with a toothpick if needed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolled flautas in the oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

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