Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups roasted chicken, shredded
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 small, diced yellow onion (about 3/4 cup)
- 1/2 poblano, seeded and diced (about 3/4 cup)
- 2/3 cup fresh corn kernels (or canned corn, rinsed and drained)
- 1/3 cup prepared salsa
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 4 ounces shredded Pepper Jack cheese (about 1 cup)
- 14 6-inch flour tortillas warmed
- 5 cups frying oil of choice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (of choice)
- 1 zested and juiced lime (about 3 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oil in a large pot over medium heat to 350˚F.
- Combine shredded chicken in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a medium sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, poblano, and corn; sauté for about 6 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the sautéed mixture to the bowl with chicken and mix to combine.
- Incorporate remaining filling ingredients into the chicken mixture, ensuring even distribution and seasoning.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the filling on one side of a tortilla and roll it tightly, using toothpicks to secure the ends if needed. Lay the rolled tortilla on a baking sheet.
- Repeat the rolling process with remaining tortillas and filling until complete.
- Fry flautas in batches until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes each. Remove from oil and let drain on a cooling rack-lined baking sheet. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or chili powder to the filling mixture.
Ensure the oil is properly heated before frying to achieve that crispy texture.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like guacamole or extra salsa.
