My obsession with all things Hispanic/Spanish leads my taste buds to sample every sort of food created in this ethnic category. As expected, I am a huge fan of burritos, tacos, taquitos, flautas, and whatever other name there is for different ingredients that are snuggly stuffed and rolled up into a soft tortilla.
I have seen every recipe available on Pinterest for flautas, but I literally just went with what I thought would taste good on this one, keeping in mind my requirements of
1. simplicity and 2. short ingredient list
Try this and seriously, enjoy! These were delicious and you will think yourself
a master chef after this one...
Chicken Flautas with rice
Block of cream cheese
Corn tortillas
Cilantro Lime Preseasoned Chicken Breast (Walmart)
Shredded Fiesta blend cheese
Vegetable oil
Limes
Avacados
Sour Cream
Queso
Taco Sauce
*Spanish rice or any other rice
Follow directions on package for cooking chicken and bake it in the oven.
Remove chicken from oven and shred with fork and knife.
Mix warm chicken with softened cream cheese.
*Oven should be heated to 375 for flautas...
Add shredded cheese to cream cheese and chicken mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in skillet and flash fry tortillas for just a few seconds on each side.
Place chicken and cheese mixture in center of each tortilla and roll up. Place with the seal face down on cookie sheet.
Bake flautas in oven for about 20-30 mins. or until cheese is melted on inside, and rolled shells seem crispy.
Serve with a variety of toppings:
queso, taco sauce, and sour cream,
and with a side of Spanish (yellow) rice.
