Chicken Flautas
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, more if needed
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove finely chopped garlic
- 1/4 tsp dried cilantro
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp coriander
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/4 tsp pepper, more if needed
- 3 oz tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 20 flour tortillas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Salt and pepper chicken. Preheat skillet and drizzle with olive oil. Add chicken to hot skillet and let it brown lightly before flipping it.
- Add the onion, garlic, and salt; saut until tender. Add cilantro, oregano, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if desired), pepper, and tomato paste.
- Add water and stir until well combined. Bring to a boil and then cook over medium heat until thick sauce forms.
- Start to make your flautas. Take one flour tortilla on a plate and place some of the chicken mixture in a line on the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla and secure with a toothpick. Repeat this with all the rest of the tortillas. Flautas should be about the thickness of a large cigar.
- Place flautas on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until crispy.
- Serve with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and beans and rice, if desired.
