Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced Bell pepper
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 10 Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Avocado oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 quartered Lime

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the chicken breast in a pot with water until fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from water and let it cool slightly before shredding it using two forks.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes or until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, along with ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable. Be careful not to overheat them or they may tear.

Step 8

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in a line along the center of each tortilla, then tightly roll it up, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 9

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully place the flautas in the hot oil, seam side down. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 11

Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the flautas warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
