Very Delicious Chicken Flautas
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!
Servings 16 flautas
Calories 145kcal
Ingredients
- 1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Hass avocado halved and pitted
- ½ c. sour cream
- 2 limes 1 halved, 1 cut into wedges
- 4 radishes thinly sliced
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- 1 ½ c fresh salsa
- 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 ½ lime and pulse until smooth. Season with salt.
- Squeeze the remaining ½ lime over the radishes in a small bowl and sprinkle with ¼ t. salt. Toss the chicken with ¾ 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 ¾ 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.
Notes
- Serve with the avocado cream, radishes, cilantro, lime wedges and the remaining ¾ c. salsa.
- You can substitute flour tortillas for the corn
- Cooking Tip: Wrap the corn 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.
