Flautas Ingredients

Method

Flautas Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Flautas

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Fry the Flautas

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

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
