Ingredients
- 12 pieces Gluten-free corn tortillas
- 2 cups Cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 pieces Lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the chicken mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 5
Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in a microwave or on a hot skillet to make them pliable.
Step 6
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one end of each tortilla.
Step 7
Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other, securing them with toothpicks if needed.
Step 8
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Carefully place the flautas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 10
Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Remove the toothpicks and serve the flautas hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a side of salsa.
Step 12
Serve with lime wedges for added zest and enjoy your gluten-free flautas de pollo!
