Crispy Baked Chicken Flautas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bell pepper and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in the chicken breast. Cook and stir until the chicken breast is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer until the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar cheese, then remove from heat, and set aside.
• Lightly brush each corn tortilla will a layer of salsa. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in a line along the bottom edge of the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla into a cylinder, and secure the ends with one or two toothpicks. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry the flautas in the preheated oil, no more than 4 at a time, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain the flautas on a paper towel-lined plate. Discard toothpicks and top finished flautas with remaining salsa.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken; season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in tomato paste, chipotle and sauce, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
• Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Arrange 1/4 cup cheese and about 1/3 cup meat mixture along center of one tortilla; roll up and place seam-side down on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese, meat, and tortillas. Brush tops of flautas with oil and bake until browned and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with pico de gallo, sour cream, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper and roast in oven for about 1/2 hour. When it's cooked through, remove bones and skin and shred the chicken.
• Heat the chicken stock in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and peppers and sauté until onion is translucent.
• Add tomatoes and shredded chicken and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat, cool and drain any excess liquid.
• Soften tortillas with a bit of chicken stock and place chicken mixture in the center. Roll up tightly and seal with two toothpicks. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Place seam side down on medium flame on grill and turn while cooking until crispy - about 5-7 minutes.
• You can also bake them in a preheated 375F oven about 20 minutes until crisp. Remove from grill, cut in half and remove toothpicks.

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.
• Add 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and roll up, then place seam-side down on the prepared pan. Repeat this process until all the chicken mixture is used up.
• 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).
