Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Place a grain-free tortilla on a clean surface. Add about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture along one edge and tightly roll it up.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.

Step 9

Place the rolled flautas seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the flautas with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil.
