What to do with left-over roast chicken? Make chicken flautas! Before I give you the recipe for the flautas, check out my always perfect roasted chicken recipe that’s always 100% winner, winner chicken dinner!

INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN FLAUTAS:

1T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Hass avocado, halved and pitted
1/2 c. sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 limes (1 halved, 1 cut into wedges)
4 radishes, thinly sliced
3 cups shredded chicken
1 1/2 c fresh salsa (bet you want my recipe for that one too, eh? – perhaps next post!)
16 corn tortillas
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro
sea salt

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1) Scoop the avocado into a blender. Add the sour cream and the juice of 1/2 lime and pulse until smooth. Season with salt.

2) Squeeze the remaining 1/2 lime over the radishes in a small bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 t. salt. Toss the chicken with 3/4 c. salsa in a medium bowl.

3) Wrap the tortillas in paper towels and microwave until soft, about 30 seconds. Make sure to do this step, as I tried skipping it and the tortillas broke as I try to wrap the chicken mixture in it. Spoon the chicken mixture down the middle of the tortillas. Fold in the ends and roll up like a burrito; secure with toothpicks.

4) Heat 3/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. Fry the flautas, turning as needed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with tongs; drain on paper towels and remove the toothpicks. Serve with the avocado cream, radishes, cilantro, lime wedges and the remaining 3/4 c. salsa.

Jocelyn,

Thanks for the yummy recipe and ideas for left over chicken!

I’m not such the domestic, but will surely pass this along to our household chef and to others that enjoy cooking and trying new things. 🙂

Thanks again,
