Ingredients
2
cups
shredded cooked chicken
10
small flour tortillas
1
cup
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1
teaspoon
cumin
1
teaspoonchili powder
1
teaspoongarlic powder
1
teaspoononion powder
½
cup
vegetable oil
Instructions
Mix shredded chicken with spices in a bowl.
Lay out a tortilla, add some chicken and cheese near one edge, and roll it up tightly.
Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the flautas until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
Ensure your chicken is fully cooked and shredded finely to make rolling the flautas easier.
Warm your tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent them from tearing.
Use a toothpick to hold the flauta together while frying if needed.
Do not overcrowd the pan while frying. This keeps the oil temperature stable and ensures even browning.
Allow your flautas to drain on a paper towel-lined plate after frying to remove excess oil.
