Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 12 coconut flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Shred the cooked chicken breast and place it in a large bowl.
Add onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Mix well to combine.
Drizzle the chicken mixture with lime juice and toss to coat evenly.
Warm the coconut flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. This can be done over low heat in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned chicken onto one edge of each tortilla and roll tightly into a cylinder.
Place the flautas seam side down on a baking sheet. Brush each flauta with avocado oil to help them crisp up.
Bake the flautas in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with sliced avocado and salsa.
