About Chicken flautas

Chicken Flautas are a traditional Mexican dish made by rolling seasoned shredded chicken inside small flour or corn tortillas, which are then tightly rolled and fried until crispy. The chicken filling is often flavored with spices like cumin, paprika, and garlic, and may include additional ingredients such as onions, peppers, or cheese. Flautas are typically served with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for added flavor and texture. While the dish provides a good source of protein from the chicken, it is relatively high in calories and fat due to the frying process. Using baked flautas or choosing whole-grain tortillas can make them a healthier option. Additionally, pairing them with fresh vegetables or lighter condiments helps balance the meal. Chicken Flautas are a flavorful treat that showcases the rich culinary tradition of Mexico, though mindful portions are recommended for a balanced diet.
