Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 12 coconut flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup salsa
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Shred the cooked chicken breast and place it in a large bowl.
Step 3
Add onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Drizzle the chicken mixture with lime juice and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Warm the coconut flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. This can be done over low heat in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
Step 6
Place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned chicken onto one edge of each tortilla and roll tightly into a cylinder.
Step 7
Place the flautas seam side down on a baking sheet. Brush each flauta with avocado oil to help them crisp up.

Step 9
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with sliced avocado and salsa.
