Flauta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, salt, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Flautas

    On a flat surface, take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle a little cheese on top of the chicken, then roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Fry the Flautas

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

  4. 4

    Serve

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