Yummy Chicken Flautas

recipe but even I will admit it’s kind of a pain to make. It seemed to take

forever. Let’s put it this way it’s not something I would make during the week

again. The flavor is fantastic and once you bite into these little flutes of

fun you will probably agree they are worth the work just maybe on a Saturday.

They are crispy, and delicious!

Ingredients:

2 boneless

• skinless chicken breasts
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic
• cloves
• 1
• tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3
• 1/2 ounces queso fresco, crumbled (or sub. feta cheese)
• 12 corn
• tortillas
• oil
• (for frying)
• salt and pepper (to season)

Directions:

Bring

saucepan of water and chicken to boil.Reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes,

until chicken is cooked.

Remove

from pan.

After

chicken has cooled, shred with 2 forks and set aside.

Chop

onion and mince garlic.

Add

onion and garlic to heated oil and sauté on low heat until onion is soft, but

not browned.

Mix

in chicken and season with salt and pepper.

Remove

from heat and add in cheese.

Mix

well.

Soften

tortillas in the hot grease for just a few seconds on each side. This makes the

tortillas much easier to work with

Heat

frying oil until small piece of tortilla floats and bubbles.

Place

chicken mixture in each tortilla, roll up tightly and secure with toothpick.

I

recommend putting tortilla in oil immediately, as they tend to crack and come

apart if left sitting.

Turn

flautas frequently, cooking 2-3 minutes or until golden.

Drain

on paper towels and serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
