Chicken Flautas With Chunky Guacamole Recipes

CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• FLAUTAS: In a bowl, combine all flauta ingredients (excluding tortillas and oil). Allow to rest about 15 minutes to marry flavors.
• Place about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture in center of flour tortilla, and roll-up like a cigar. Secure with a toothpick.
• Continue with remaining tortillas. Keep flautas covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
• Heat enough oil in skillet to come almost halfway up sides of flautas (about 1/4 inch depth).
• Quickly fry flautas on all sides until lightly golden brown. This happens very quickly, so don't walk away.
• Drain on paper towels and serve with Chunky Guacamole.
• CHUNKY GUACAMOLE: Dice avocados into chunks and place in a medium bowl.
• Add remaining guacamole ingredients, and gently toss to combine.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• 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 microwave for 30 sec.
• 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 creme and salsa, if desired.
