How Do I Serve Chicken Flautas? With flautas, the two things that vary by region are the filling and the toppings. In most cases, the filling is made from pulled chicken or beef, your favorite Mexican chili.

To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have chicken flautas using 13 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Chicken Flautas:

1. Get can cooking spray
2. Take 2 onion, chopped
3. Make ready 2 can Green Chiles-chopped
4. Get 2 tbsp butter or oil
5. Make ready 8 chicken thighs- precooked and shredded
6. Prepare 4 oz sour cream
7. Make ready 6 oz cream cheese- softened
8. Take 4 oz salsa-I just used Tostitos brand but any will work
9. Make ready 1 can sweet corn- drained
10. Get 1 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese- shredded
11. Make ready granulated garlic
12. Take 1 tbsp chopped parsley
13. Get 18 tortillas- flour

When tacos are rolled tightly and pan-fried until crisp so they resemble tubes or "flutes," they become flautas. My favorite flauta recipe, from a Mexican cookbook by Jane Milton. The addition of cheese inside makes them very tasty! I serve these with crema (or sour creme) and homemade salsa.

Steps to make Chicken Flautas:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a medium pan with 2 tbs. Oil or butter, saute chilis and onion until softened.
3. Combine all ingredients except tortillas in a large bowl.
4. Put about 2-3 spoonfuls of the filling mixture on an outer third of the tortillas and roll.
5. Place rolled tortillas in pan and cook for about 15 minutes or until the tortillas are crisp and lightly browned. They can also be placed under the broiler for a few minutes, being careful not to burn the tortillas.
6. There should be enough filling and tortillas to make 2 pans of this. I made one for dinner and then froze another pan for a meal at a later date. Be sure to thaw the flautas before cooking second batch.

Before we get started it's worth mentioning that Flautas sometimes moonlight as Taquitos, and vice versa. In Mexico, Flautas are traditionally made with corn tortillas. Fried chicken flautas made with flour tortilla and fresh ingredients. Flautas are basically taquitos but made using flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas. Needless to say the chicken mixture ended up making some spicy chicken flautas.
