Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 8 pieces low-carb tortillas (6-inch each)
- 0.5 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup guacamole
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Lay out each low-carb tortilla, and place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture on one side of the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling to form a flauta.
Place the flauta seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent it from unrolling.
Once all tortillas are filled and rolled, brush the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the flautas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the flautas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the flautas with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
