Flauta Ingredients

Method

Flauta Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Flautas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until they are pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling on one end of each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 3

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the flautas, seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

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