Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 3 medium Green chili peppers (roasted, peeled, and diced)
- 1.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 12 Tortillas (small, around 6 inches)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa verde (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced green chili peppers, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and softened cream cheese.
Step 2
Add the garlic powder, cumin, and salt to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Step 3
Lay one tortilla flat and place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling along one edge of the tortilla.
Step 4
Tightly roll the tortilla into a thin cylinder, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Carefully place a few flautas seam-side down into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the flautas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining flautas.
Step 9
Serve the flautas warm with sour cream and salsa verde on the side for dipping.
