Crispy Pulled Pork Flautas Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Add 2 cups of oil to a deep frying pan. Set aside.
• 2. Warm up leftover pulled pork.
• 3. Place a small amount of cheese on tortilla. Add ¼ cup of leftover pulled pork on each tortilla and roll into a tight flute (see picture). Secure the seams with two toothpicks.
• 4. Heat the oil over high heat.
• 5. When oils is hot, reduce heat to medium high and carefully add 4-5 flautas and lightly fry on all sides until nice and golden.
• 6. Transfer the fried flautas onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining flautas.
• 7. Place the baking sheet with fried flautas in to the oven to keep them warm and crispy until ready to serve.
• 8. Serve the flautas with shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and a sprinkling of cotija.

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:

• Preheat oven to 400*F Lay tortillas flat on work surface. Spread 1 - 2 Tablespoons of pulled pork across the bottom of the tortilla. Top with 1 Tablespoon of black beans. Top with 1 Tablespoon of cheese. Starting at the bottom, roll up as tight as you can and secure with 2 toothpicks for each flauta. Place flautas on a prepared cookie sheet. Spritz the top of each flauta with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up while baking. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until flautas are golden. Remove and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
