CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH COTIJA AND SALSA ROJA
These are so good. My sister in law asked me to make her some for her birthday! Which I did. This recipe is from the Saveur Magazine, I don't remember when. Note: To make these less spicy, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño prior to pureeing.

CHICKEN FLAUTAS
Steps:
- In a pot, cover chicken with water. Add onion, jalapenos, and one teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Remove meat from pot and cool. Pull chicken apart into small pieces. Chicken should be continuously pulled apart until string-like consistency. In a deep pan, heat the oil to about 375 to 400 degrees F. Dip corn tortillas into hot oil for 1/2 a second or until tortilla is soft. Lay the shredded chicken in the middle of the corn tortillas. Add enough meat to make sure you taste the flavor of the meat and the corn tortilla. Roll the tortilla up and put toothpick through the middle of the flauta to hold in place. Once rolled, deep fry each flauta in the oil already heated (used to soften the corn tortillas) until corn tortillas turn to a golden brown or to your preference. Allow cooling off time. Remove toothpicks and serve 6 flautas on a plate with salsa or guacamole.

- In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, salsa, dried oregano and chili powder and mix to combine. Stir in the cream cheese, if using, and combine well. Reserve.
- Heat the vegetable oil - enough for a shallow fry - in a separate frying pan. Working with 2 at a time, flash fry tortillas for 2-3 seconds per side until just soft; remove from oil and place on a paper towel covered plate.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in a vertical line down the center of each softened tortilla, and roll up tightly.
- With the seam side down, fry the taquitos in batches of six for 2-3 minutes per side, until deep golden and crispy. The frying process should shut them close, but if you are having difficulty, just use toothpicks to secure the taquitos.

- In a deep skillet, preheat 1 inch deep of oil to 350 degrees, set over medium heat. Or you can also test if the oil is ready for frying the flautas, by dipping a flauta or tortilla to see if the oil actively bubbles around it.
- Place a comal or a dry skillet over medium heat until hot, then heat the tortillas on the comal for about 30 seconds per side; this will prevent them from breaking when rolling them into flautas.
- Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken on each tortilla and roll them tightly. They should be thin, not chubby rolls. You can insert wooden toothpicks through 2 to 3 flautas at a time, so they will fry evenly and hold their shape.
- Once the oil is hot, gently dip the flautas in it. Fry them until they have crisped and turned golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip them over so they will brown evenly, for another minute. Remove the flautas from the oil and put them on a plate or tray lined with paper towels.
