Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Small Onion sliced into thin strips
- 1-2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 pound Chicken Breasts
- 1 tablespoon Ground Coriander
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Achiote Powder Ground Annatto Seeds; Can be substituted with Turmeric if unavailable
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ cup Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
- Flour Tortillas
Toppings
- Sour Cream
- Pico de gallo
- Guacamole
- Lettuce
- Tomato
Instructions
- Rinse and cut the onion into thin strips. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the sliced onions and cook until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Set onions aside.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt. Using the same pan, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and cook chicken breasts until the center is no longer pink and each side is a golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place cooked chicken into another mixing bowl. Shred chicken and add all seasonings. Mix well, then add the cooked onion.
- Begin filling flour tortillas with chicken and onion mixture, sprinkle with cheese, and then roll the shell closed.
- Heat the previously used pan over medium-high heat and add 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Working in batches, place filled tortillas seam side down into the pan and cook until browned on each side, about 2-3 minutes each. Be careful when turning so that the filling does not fall out.
- Once flautas are cooked, top with sour cream, pico de gallo, or guacamole.
