Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Chicken Cheese Flautas.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a skillet set over medium-low heat, blend together shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, zesty green salsa, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Stir the mixture gently until it’s warmed through, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Once heated, take it off the heat.
Step 5
To make the tortillas more pliable, pop 2 to 3 of them in the microwave for 20 to 25 seconds.
Step 6
Repeat this process until all tortillas are softened.
Step 7
On a clean surface, lay out a tortilla and place a generous line of the chicken mixture near one edge.
Step 8
Top it off with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Step 9
Roll the tortilla tightly, being careful not to tear it, and secure it with two toothpicks.
Step 10
Keep rolling until you’ve used up all the tortillas, chicken, and cheese.
Step 11
Arrange your beautifully rolled flautas in a baking dish, ready for the oven.
Step 12
Bake them in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, then gently flip each flauta and bake for another 7 minutes, or until they achieve a delightful golden brown hue.
Step 13
Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness that awaits!.
