Ingredients :
vegetable or canola oil for frying
3 cups shredded beef or shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
½ cup salsa store-bought or homemade
1 (4-ounce) can diced chiles
garlic salt with parsley flakes to taste
pepper to taste
12 6-inch flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
salt to taste
Toppings
shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, green salsa, guacamole, Cilantro Ranch dressing
Directions:
Preheat the oven to the warm setting or about 200 degrees F.
Fill a large saucepan with about ¾ inch oil. Heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cheese, salsa, diced chiles, garlic salt and pepper.
Working with 4 tortillas at a time, spread a heaping spoonful of chicken filling along the middle of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and secure each one with a toothpick.
Using tongs, hold each flauta in hot oil until firm, then release to continue cooking. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then remove to a paper towel–lined plate and immediately season with salt.
AD
Transfer flautas to a foil-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while assembling and cooking the remaining tortillas. Serve warm with toppings
Enjoy !!
