CHEESY CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH A CREAMY AVOCADO SALSA: Plus the Debate Between Flautas & Taquitos

These Cheesy Chicken Flautas are crispy on the outside, filled with yumminess on the inside...and are topped with one of the most delicious Creamy Avocado Salsas anywhere. Truly, I could eat these every day and never get tired of them. Whether you call them "taquitos" or "flautas" is a matter of debate...but they are a favorite by any name. Read on for the recipe. Cheesy Chicken Flautas Shredded chicken corn tortillas grated cheese of your choice (I like pepper jack) canola or vegetable oil for frying Combine shredded chicken and grated cheese. Heat corn tortillas on a griddle or in the microwave to make them more pliable. Then place a couple of Tablespoons full of chicken/cheese along one side of the heated tortilla and roll tightly. Place with seam to the bottom to keep items in place. Fill frying pan with 1/2 to a full inch of oil and bring to medium high heat. Carefully, place rolled flautas (seam side to the bottom) into hot grease and let fry until golden brown. Flip over and let other side fully cook, as well. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to allow excess oil to drain. Serve while hot, topped with creamy avocado salsa, Mexican Crema or sour cream, and pico de gallo. Creamy Avocado Salsa 2 ripe avocados 1 jalapeño, (stem and seeds removed) 2 Tbsp. Mexican crema or sour cream 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro leaves 1 minced garlic clove salt to taste juice of half a lime 2/3 cup of water Place all ingredients in blender or food processor and puree until you're left with a creamy salsa. Store in refrigerator. Thanks so much for checking out this video. If you liked it, be sure to give it a Thumbs Up and Subscribe to this channel, if you haven't already done so.
