Mini Chicken Flautas
Mini chicken flautas are crispy, rolled tortillas filled with seasoned shredded chicken and diced chiles then fried until golden brown. These mini snacks are perfect for dipping and make a fun, crowd-pleasing appetizer or party food.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded Rotisserie or Diced Chicken
- ½ cup Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
- ⅓ cup Sour Cream
- 2 tablespoons Diced Green Chiles I used about half of an Old El Paso 4-ounce can
- 1 tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Mini Flour Tortilla Shells
- Canola Oil
- Sour Cream, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, or Salsa optional toppings
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cheese, sour cream, green chiles, and all spices and seasonings.
- Place tortillas inside a damp paper towel and heat for 20-30 seconds to make them easier to roll.
- Add approximately 1.5 tablespoons of mixture to each tortilla and roll closed, with the outer seal facing down to keep it closed. If needed, use a toothpick to hold them closed. Press the mixture in the ends to keep them from spilling out as they cook.
- Heat enough oil in a large pan so that it comes halfway up the side of each flauta over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, cook each mini chicken flauta for 2 minutes per side, starting with the seam facing down, until they are golden brown. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate or a pan with a metal wire cooling rack.
- Serve with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, or salsa.
