Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 8 pieces Low-carb flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 piece Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.
Place the shredded chicken in a bowl, add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro, and mix to combine.
Lay the low-carb tortillas on a flat surface and evenly divide the chicken mixture among them.
Roll each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Brush the remaining olive oil lightly over the rolled flautas.
Place the flautas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
Serve the flautas with sliced avocado, sour cream, and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
