Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 8 Grain-free tortillas
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Add the cooked chicken breast to the pan, and mix well with the onion, garlic, and spices until well combined.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Place a grain-free tortilla on a clean surface. Add about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture along one edge and tightly roll it up.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Place the rolled flautas seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the flautas with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flautas are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
