Flautas With Shredded Chicken Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN FLAUTAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken filling: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add in the onion, jalapeño peppers, salt, chili powder, and cumin. Sauté for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the shredded chicken, salsa, and lime juice. Remove from heat.
• Prepare the tortillas: Warm the tortillas by wrapping the stack of them in damp paper towels and microwaving for a minute.
• Prepare the flautas: Place about 2 tablespoons each of chicken filling and a sprinkling of cheese in the middle of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place them seam side down on a plate.
• Fry: Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 4 flautas in the pan, seam side down, and fry for about 1-2 minutes. Then, flip the flautas and fry for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan as needed and repeat this process with the remaining flautas.
• Serve: Serve the flautas with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, cilantro, salsa, and sour cream.

CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl combine the shredded chicken, picante sauce and ground cumin. Mix together.
• In a small skillet heat vegetable oil over medium high heat. Place a corn tortilla in the oil for 1 to 2 seconds on either side to soften. Repeat with all of the tortillas (if possible, have someone help you do this). Place tortillas on paper towel to soak up some of the oil.
• Put 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla and sprinkle some cheese on top. Roll up tortilla and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet, seam side down. Repeat with all of the tortillas until chicken mixture is gone. If there is any cheese left over, sprinkle it over the rolled tortillas.
• Bake tortillas in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes or until tortillas are a little crispy and golden brown.

CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Add the salsa, sour cream, green chilies and all seasonings to a large bowl (except cayenne); stir to combine. Stir in chicken followed by cheeses. Season with cayenne pepper to taste (optional), keeping in mind the flavor will mellow in the tortillas.
• If using lower quality tortillas, stack 6 together and top with a dampened paper towel. Microwave for 60 seconds so they're more pliable and easier to roll. Fill, roll and repeat.
• To assemble, lay 12-14 tortillas on a flat surface. Add approximately 3 tablespoons filling to the bottom third of each tortilla then tightly roll up tortillas and place them seam side down.

EASY CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir flour into butter until smooth. Add onion to flour-butter mixture; cook and stir until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix black olives, lemon juice, oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt into onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir chicken into mixture and remove skillet from heat and cover.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan or deep-fryer.
• Fill tortillas with chicken mixture. Roll tortilla around filling and secure with a toothpick.
• Fry the rolled tortillas, working in batches, in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer fried tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon or tongs.

MEXICAN-STYLE CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Saute the onions on medium heat until translucent (around 5 minutes), then add the minced garlic and simmer for 2 more minutes.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and the shredded chicken. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to cook down slightly. Remove from heat.
• Add ⅙ of the filling to each flour tortilla. It's best to add the filling closer to one side, so they can easily be rolled tightly. Be sure not to use too much filling in the flauta and to spread it evenly.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add each flauta, seam side down to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, rolling them occasionally to obtain an even fry.
• Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack. Garnish with shredded lettuce, cheese and pico de gallo. Serve with salsa and/or sour cream.

SHREDDED CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Shred or chop cooked chicken (I like to use a rotisserie chicken) until you have about three cups of chicken.
• In a medium skillet, add olive oil, onion, and chicken. Cook until onions soften, 3-4 minutes. Then add seasonings and remove from heat.
• Heat fry oil in a high-walled skillet over medium heat. Working with one flour tortilla at a time, fill with a about 1/4 cup of filling and a small handful of grated cheese. Roll the tortilla into a tight cylinder. Place the rolled flauta in the hot oil, seam-side down so it seels.
• Continue to roll the flautas as you fry the flautas until you run out of filling. Fry the flautas for about 2 minutes per side until they are golden brown.
• Remove flautas from the hot oil and let drain on a few paper towels.
• Serve flautas with avocado, cilantro, sour cream, and salsa.
• Leftover flautas keep great in the fridge for a few days. Reheat in a 300˚F oven for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy.

FLAUTAS DE POLLO (CHICKEN FLAUTAS)

Steps:

• Add the Canola oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat, and wait for the oil to reach between 350°-375°. In the meantime, assemble the flautas.
• Mix the shredded chicken and cheese in a large bowl together and set aside until ready to use.
• Wrap a stack of 3-5 flour tortillas at a time in damp paper towel and place on a microwavable -safe plate. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute intervals, just until the tortillas are soft and pliable.
• Add about 2 tablespoons of filling to each tortillas and roll tightly. Once you have 3-4 flautas assembled, begin adding them to the oil one at a time.
• Gently add the flautas to the hot oil seam-side down, and using a pair of tongs, hold it in place for about 15 seconds. Fry for 30-45 seconds on each side, or until the flauta is golden in color. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels, and repeat with remaining flautas.
• Serve with desired topping and enjoy!

QUICK & EASY CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper or tin foil, or you can spray the pan with cooking spray.
• Combine drained and flaked chicken, cream cheese, salsa, cheese, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder into a mixing bowl. Stir together until well combined.
• Spread 3 tablespoons (a large spoonful) of chicken mixture onto a tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. *If you use smaller tortillas then you won't need the full 3 tablespoons of filling, so adjust accordingly.
• Spray the tops of the flautas with cooking spray. Don't soak them but you want them to have a decent coating of cooking spray so they will get really brown and crispy. I also like to sprinkle some kosher salt on top of the sprayed flautas, but this is totally optional.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until they reach desired crispness that you want. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving so the filling can cool and come together. Serve with dips of your choice (sour cream, salsa, guacamole).

FLAUTAS WITH SHREDDED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the tablespoon oil. Add the onion, chiles, and garlic and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in teh tomato and continue to cook, stirry constantly, until the mixture thickens and the color changes, about 3 minutes. Fold in the chicken, season to taste with sea salt, and heat thoroughly. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Place a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lay a tortilla on the pan a few seconds until hot. Transfer it to a plate and arrange several tablespoons of the chicken filling across the lower third of the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla up into a tube to make a flauta, secure with a toothpick and set aside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. (I usually fry them as I make them to cut down on prep time and keep the tortillas from cracking).
• In a bowl, toss the lettuce with the lime juice. Spread it out on a serving plate or on individual plates, dividing it evenly.
• Pour oil to a depth of at least 3/4 inch into a deep heavy frying pan and heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and registers 350 on a deep-frying thermometer. Add the flautas, a few at a time, and fry until crisp and pale gold on all sides, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, transfer them to paper towels to drain. Keep warm in a low oven while frying the rest.
• Place al lthe flautas on the lettuce on the platter, or arrange 2 or 3 flautas on each plate. Spoon 1/2 cup salsa across the flautas in a ribbon, then top with the crema and the radishes. Serve at once, accompanied with more salsa, crema, and guacamole if desired.
