Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper or tin foil, or you can spray the pan with cooking spray.
- Combine drained and flaked chicken, cream cheese, salsa, cheese, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder into a mixing bowl. Stir together until well combined.
- Spread 3 tablespoons (a large spoonful) of chicken mixture onto a tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. *If you use smaller tortillas then you won't need the full 3 tablespoons of filling, so adjust accordingly.
- Spray the tops of the flautas with cooking spray. Don't soak them but you want them to have a decent coating of cooking spray so they will get really brown and crispy. I also like to sprinkle some kosher salt on top of the sprayed flautas, but this is totally optional.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until they reach desired crispness that you want. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving so the filling can cool and come together. Serve with dips of your choice (sour cream, salsa, guacamole).

Steps:
- Add the Canola oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat, and wait for the oil to reach between 350°-375°. In the meantime, assemble the flautas.
- Mix the shredded chicken and cheese in a large bowl together and set aside until ready to use.
- Wrap a stack of 3-5 flour tortillas at a time in damp paper towel and place on a microwavable -safe plate. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute intervals, just until the tortillas are soft and pliable.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of filling to each tortillas and roll tightly. Once you have 3-4 flautas assembled, begin adding them to the oil one at a time.
- Gently add the flautas to the hot oil seam-side down, and using a pair of tongs, hold it in place for about 15 seconds. Fry for 30-45 seconds on each side, or until the flauta is golden in color. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels, and repeat with remaining flautas.
- Serve with desired topping and enjoy!

CHICKEN FLAUTAS AHOGADAS
These crunchy, tube-shaped flautas ahogadas - the name roughly translates to "drowned flutes" - are served in a pool of spicy tomatillo sauce, and the idea is to slather each bite in the sauce as you eat. They're immensely popular in Mexico City, where they're prepared using long corn tortillas specifically made for the dish. This faster version uses standard corn tortillas and a quick rotisserie chicken filling, but the tomatillo sauce, which is tart with an underlying sweetness, deserves to be made from scratch. Prepare it a day in advance or freeze it to save time. It's worth making a double batch of the sauce, because it brightens up just about anything: tacos, quesadillas or eggs.

Steps:
- Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over high. Thinly slice half the onion crosswise into thin rounds, leaving the remaining onion half in one large piece. Add the onion wedge, tomatillos, chiles and garlic to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until softened and tomatillos take on a yellow-green hue, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water and pour the remaining contents of the saucepan into a colander to drain.
- While tomatillos cool, toss the chicken with the cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Coarsely chop the cooked onion, garlic and chiles, discarding chile stems. Transfer to a blender with 1/4 cup reserved cooking water and blend until chunky. Add the tomatillos and another 1/2 cup reserved cooking water and blend until smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the saucepan over medium. Add the sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup reserved cooking water into the blender jar, swirl around to catch any remnants in blender, then pour the mixture into the saucepan. Simmer over low, stirring often, until flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
- While the sauce cooks, wrap the tortillas in a damp dish towel and microwave, 1 minute. Shuffle the tortillas to redistribute the heat, then microwave, 1 minute more. Transfer to a dry dish towel and wrap tightly to keep warm.
- Heat about 1/2-inch oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high. To test if it's hot enough, tear off a small piece of tortilla, add to oil and flip after 30 seconds; the tortilla should turn light golden-brown. (You'll need to make sure the oil is properly heated so the flautas become crisp.) Working with one at a time, pull out a warm tortilla and add about 2 tablespoons chicken in a line down the center of the tortilla. Roll tightly and secure crosswise using two toothpicks.
- Once you've rolled all 12 tortillas, gently transfer them to the hot oil using tongs and cook, seam side down, until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes. (Work in batches to avoid crowding.) Using tongs, tilt flautas over skillet to allow excess oil to drain, then transfer flautas to a paper towel-lined platter and carefully remove and discard toothpicks.
- To serve, divide the sauce among 4 shallow bowls (about 1/2 cup per serving). Divide the flautas among bowls and slather flautas with crema. Top with cheese, sliced onion and cilantro and serve immediately.
CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH AVOCADO CREAM
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with enough oil to reach 2 inches up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reads 375 degrees F. To make the flautas: In a pan over medium heat melt butter and saute onions and jalapenos until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add chicken and salsa; stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro, cheese and lime juice. Let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Working with 4 tortillas at a time, spread a heaping spoonful along the middle of each tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick. Using tongs, hold each flauta in hot oil until firm, then release to continue cooking. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt. Keep flautas warm in the oven on a sheet tray while assembling and cooking the remaining tortillas.
- To make the Avocado Cream: In a serving bowl, mash avocado, sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Season with salt, to taste.
- To serve, arrange flautas on a platter of shredded lettuce and serve with Avocado Cream on the side.
UNFRIED CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH CHEESE SAUCE
My husband is hispanic and started making these shortly after we were married. I was suprised that most of the flauta recipes on here called for deep frying them! We've always baked them! Also, instead of dipping each tortilla in oil, you can coat both sides with cooking spray--just heat tortillas in the microwave first--it should work just the same. Also, your chicken breast size will determine how many you actually make (I estimated what we normally make) You can use whatever fillings you want and add whatever you'd like...this is just the base of what we typically use.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a skillet, cook chicken through. Add seasoning per envelope directions. Set aside.
- In a smaller skillet, fill up to halfway with vegetable oil, heat until hot. Quickly dip each corn tortilla into the oil, letting oil set in (about 2-5 seconds). Place on a paper-towel on a heat-proof plate. Repeat until all have been heated.
- On a workspace, place one tortilla (Be careful, as the tortillas may be VERY hot). Spoon 1-2 Tablespoons of chicken onto center of tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and roll up tortilla (ends will be open). Place seam-side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat until all have been used.
- Place in oven, bake about 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown and crispy.
- For cheese sauce, in a microwave-safe bowl, place velveeta cheese. Melt in microwave. Add Rotel to taste, and milk or water to thin.
- Tip: If you have leftover tortillas, cut them into wedges and bake for 5-10 minutes until crispy for chips.
