Chicken flautas can be served as a main course or an appetizer. Make them spicy or mild and serve with sour cream or guacamole. Here's your recipe.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 8 oz picante sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 8 oz shredded monterrey jack cheese
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • Corn tortillas
  • Vegetable oil
  1. Step 1

    Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Shred 4 cooked small chicken breasts, or 2 large ones.

  2. Step 2

    Mix together the shredded chicken, 8 ounces of picante sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin in a mixing bowl with a spoon. For extra spice, add hot sauce to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place each corn tortilla in the oil for only a second or two on each side to soften. Then place the tortillas on a paper towel to soak up the oil.

  4. Step 4

    Place 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into a corn tortilla and sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top. Roll up the tortilla, folding in the ends.

  5. Step 5

    Place the rolled up tortillas 1 inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet with the seams down.

  6. Step 6

    Once all of the chicken mixture or tortillas are used, sprinkle the top of them with a bit of shredded cheese.

  7. Step 7

    Bake the rolled up tortilla in the center of the preheated oven for around 20 minutes until they are golden brown. The tortillas will get a little crispy.
