Baked Chicken Flautas Recipe image

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie chicken works great)
1 cup salsa verde (the green salsa)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1 (15.25 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (15 ounce) can corn (drained)
1 1/2 cups Colby Jack shredded cheese (divided)
12-14 flour tortillas (soft taco size)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a large baking sheet (15 x 10 x 1 inches) with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together chicken, salsa, cream cheese, black beans, corn, and 1 cup shredded cheese.

  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of tortillas and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tortillas start to turn golden brown (the edges of the tortilla will turn golden first).
  • Remove from oven and serve with your favorite toppings (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, etc).

BAKED CHICKEN FLAUTAS



Baked Chicken Flautas image

I grew up in the kitchen eating Mexican food every day and never got tired of it. These are a great dish for "Mexican or Taco Night." They are easy to eat and what kid doesn't like chicken tacos (that's what my 8-year-old brother calls them). Others prefer to microwave the tortillas, roll up the flautas, and then deep-fry them. Baking them just makes me feel a tad less guilty. I like to serve these with refried beans, fresh lettuce, green salsa, and top it off with more shredded cheese and sour cream.

Time 1h15m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ medium onion, cut into chunks
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with saffron (such as Goya® Azafran)
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
14 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts, onion, garlic, and salt in a deep pot. Cover with water and cook over medium heat, adding water if it starts to get low, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and shred chicken with 2 forks. Reserve 1/2 cup stock.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and sazon seasoning. Add the reserved chicken stock, stir well, and reduce heat. Cook until all stock has evaporated. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place another frying pan over medium heat with 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Begin frying corn tortillas one at a time until soft, but not crispy, 30 seconds to 1 minute, flipping once. Place the tortillas aside as you fry them.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of cooked chicken on one end of each tortilla along with 1 tablespoon of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll into flautas and place side by side on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN AND SPINACH FLAUTAS FROM HEALTHY. DELICIOUS.



Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas from Healthy. Delicious. image

I found this recipe online: Baked flautas/taquitos stuffed with seasoned, shredded chicken, spinach, and cheese are crispy, but don't have the greasiness of fried versions. To shred poached chicken easily, put it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium for 45 seconds. Store-bought rotisserie chicken can be substituted for the poached chicken to save time.
