Flauta means flute in Spanish which is what these resemble.

Ingredients

  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 1 C. shredded Monterey jack pepper cheese
  • 3/4 C. cooked chicken
  • 3/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/3 C. chunky salsa
  • 4 tsp. vegetable oil
  • Guacamole (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • Cilantro (optional)

Directions

Combine the chicken, cheese and cumin in a small bowl. Place about 1/4 of the chicken mixture on each tortilla. Top with 1 Tbs. salsa. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick. Brush with oil.  Alternately, put the oil in the skillet and sort of shallow/deep fry the flautas. Cook flautas over medium heat in a 10-inch skillet 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally until filling is hot and tortillas are toasted. Remove toothpicks and serve with guacamole and sour cream if desired.
