Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 Flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and shredded cheese. Mix until well-blended.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
Add about 3 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture to the bottom third of each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully place the flautas, seam side down, in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the flautas using tongs and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining flautas.
While the flautas cool slightly, prepare the avocado cream. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve the flautas warm with a side of avocado cream for dipping. Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.
