Description
This sure was a hit with the family! They requested I put this on our Top 10 list of regular meals to cook again! Take my word for it, it was muy delicioso! I know, you can’t taste it, but look at how it turned out!
Ingredients
- 1T Extra Virgin Olive Oil (affiliate link)
- 1 Hass avocado, halved and pitted
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 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
Instructions
- Scoop the avocado into a blender. Add the sour cream and the juice of 1/2 lime and pulse until smooth. Season with salt.
- 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.
- 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.
- Heat 3/4 inch vegetable 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.
