Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Tomato salsa

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the chicken, stirring well to coat the chicken with spices.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, add lime juice, and fresh cilantro, mix well, and set aside.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place heaping tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese into mounds approximately 4 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to form circles.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling with edges slightly crusty.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and immediately place a small amount of the shredded chicken onto each cheese circle.

Step 9

Carefully roll each cheese circle around the chicken to form flautas. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 10

Place the rolled flautas back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to ensure they are crispy.

Step 11

Allow the flautas to cool slightly before removing the toothpicks.

Step 12

Serve warm with sliced avocado, sour cream, and tomato salsa. Enjoy your keto-friendly flautas de pollo!
