Chicken Flautas is a Mexican dish. If desired serve with sour cream, picante sauce and/or Spanish rice. Chicken flautas, also known as rolled tacos, are tortillas filled with seasoned chicken and deep-fried for a tasty Mexican-inspired appetizer or meal.
To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have chicken flautas using 13 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Chicken Flautas:
- Prepare can cooking spray
- Make ready 2 onion, chopped
- Get 2 can Green Chiles-chopped
- Make ready 2 tbsp butter or oil
- Prepare 8 chicken thighs- precooked and shredded
- Prepare 4 oz sour cream
- Make ready 6 oz cream cheese- softened
- Get 4 oz salsa-I just used Tostitos brand but any will work
- Make ready 1 can sweet corn- drained
- Prepare 1 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese- shredded
- Take granulated garlic
- Get 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Get 18 tortillas- flour
I recommend putting tortilla in oil immediately, as they tend to crack and come apart if left sitting. Make ahead: The chicken can be made in advance; refrigerate the shredded chicken with some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist. Before we get started it's worth mentioning that Flautas sometimes moonlight as Taquitos, and vice versa. In Mexico, Flautas are traditionally made with corn tortillas.
Steps to make Chicken Flautas:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray
- In a medium pan with 2 tbs. Oil or butter, saute chilis and onion until softened.
- Combine all ingredients except tortillas in a large bowl.
- Put about 2-3 spoonfuls of the filling mixture on an outer third of the tortillas and roll.
- Place rolled tortillas in pan and cook for about 15 minutes or until the tortillas are crisp and lightly browned. They can also be placed under the broiler for a few minutes, being careful not to burn the tortillas.
- There should be enough filling and tortillas to make 2 pans of this. I made one for dinner and then froze another pan for a meal at a later date. Be sure to thaw the flautas before cooking second batch.
In the States, it's common to distinguish Flautas by their use of flour tortillas, and if using corn tortillas they'll be called Taquitos.
