Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 8 pieces Cassava flour tortillas
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit Avocado, sliced
• 1 unit Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with spices.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the spiced chicken and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fragrant and heated through. Set aside.

Step 3

Lay out the cassava flour tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Step 4

Roll each tortilla tightly around the chicken filling to form flautas.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Carefully place 2-3 flautas seam side down in the skillet (do not overcrowd) and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the cooked flautas from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining flautas, adding more oil if necessary.

Step 8

Once all flautas are cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with avocado slices and lime wedges on the side.
