Method

Chicken Flautas Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with salt. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Flautas

    Take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned shredded chicken in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Fry the Flautas

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

Salsa Verde Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salsa Verde

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the tomatillos and jalapeño. Boil for about 10 minutes until soft. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Blend the Salsa

    Transfer the tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the flautas. Serve with black beans, cooked rice, and a generous portion of salsa verde on top. Garnish with shredded lettuce and a dollop of sour cream.
