Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, green onions, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Warm tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture along the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly into a cylinder and secure with a toothpick.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry flautas in batches, seam-side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Tips
- Serve with guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.
- To bake instead of fry: place flautas seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Leftover flautas can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
